Programming Notes

This sample demonstrates how to create reflective effects by displaying a reflective sphere inside a cube. A cube map is a special texture surface created by rendering a scene in six orthogonal directions. It is used for traditional environment-mapping effects.

This sample uses the Direct3DX utility library helper classes.
