In Canvas Studio, the Cube Map Loader surrounds your entire scene with a six-sided skybox. Each face, right, left, top, bottom, front, and back, holds its own image, forming an infinitely distant backdrop that can double as a reflection source for glossy materials. Because cubemaps are sampled by the renderer’s image-based-lighting system, swapping them instantly changes what shows in empty screen areas and what your metals, glass, and water surfaces reflect.

Show Environment – toggles whether the cubemap is visible as the background skybox; turn it off if you only want its lighting data but prefer a flat color or post-processing pass for the backdrop.
Reflect Objects – when enabled, feeds the cubemap into PBR materials’ reflection probes so shiny surfaces mirror the skybox; disable to keep reflections muted while retaining ambient lighting.
With just these three controls you can drop in a desert panorama, a studio light rig, or a Sci-Fi station interior, decide whether it renders as the visible sky, whether objects pick it up as reflection, or both; instantly grounding your scene in whatever world you choose.
