Sample a cubemap array in a shader

Here is an example of a shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary
that uses a cubemapA collection of six square textures that can represent the reflections in an environment or the skybox drawn behind your geometry. The six squares form the faces of an imaginary cube that surrounds an object; each face represents the view along the directions of the world axes (up, down, left, right, forward and back). More info
