WindowImposter accepts only $envmap which is force drawn no matter the user settings or console commands used, like mat_specular 0.
The faces' orientation isn't taken into account when reflecting the cubemap, which makes it very convenient for making multiple fake skyboxes.
In Half-Life 2, WindowImposter is used by the material dev/dev_windowportal.vmt, and used extensively on func_illusionary or func_brush entities in conjunction with func_areaportalwindow.
Works on brushes only.
Example VMT
WindowImposter
{
"$envmap" "space/space_envmap"
}
