WindowImposter accepts only $envmap which is force drawn no matter the user settings or console commands used, like mat_specular 0.
The cubemap is not displayed as a reflection, but as if it's a skybox, which makes it very convenient for making multiple skyboxes.
In Half-Life 2, WindowImposter is used by the material dev/dev_windowportal.vmt, and used extensively on func_illusionary or func_brush entities in conjunction with func_areaportalwindow.
Works on brushes only.
Example VMT
WindowImposter
{
"$envmap" "space/space_envmap"
}
