# Cubemap Asset Node

## Description

Defines a constant **Cubemap Asset** for use in the shader. To sample the **Cubemap Asset** it should be used in conjunction with a [Sample Cubemap Node](Sample-Cubemap-Node.md). When using a separate **Cubemap Asset Node** you can sample a **Cubemap** twice, with different parameters, without defining the **Cubemap** itself twice.
