              Preview cubemap rendertexture on screen
I know how to make a cubemap with a RenderTexture, but how can I set this cubemapped RenderTexture as a GUI image to preview it in my game?
Normal GUI images work, but this cubemap doesn't show. Only a white rectangle is shown.

              Are you using Unity Pro? RenderTexture only works there.
@fireDude67: Yes, but the problem is that a cubemap is not just a texture. So putting it as a GUI-texture doesn't work to just preview it. Normal RenderTextures can be displayed. I've already accomplished that, but not with a cubemap texture.
@$$anonymous$$arnix I just wanted to see if you did. Otherwise, I knew what you were talking about.

Try casting:
 public RenderTexture cubeMap; // Assign through inspector
 public GUITexture blank; // Assign a blank GUITexture here
 Texture2D drawTexture = (Texture2D)cubemap;
 void Start() { blank.texture = drawTexture; }
