Cube-map textures are used for

• making skyboxes

• faking reflections on objects

A cube-map is comprised of 6 individual texture images

OpenGL treats them as one texture

It can be mipmapped:

    glGenerateMipmap( GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP );

Cube-map requires 3 texture coordinates: S, T, and R

The R coordinates identifies a specific image among the 6 provided
