buildcubemaps

buildcubemaps is a console command available in all Source and Source 2 games.

Syntax: buildcubemaps <numbers of iterations>

Note:Building cubemaps with multiple iterations are not available in Source 2. So instead run buildcubemaps again after reloading the map.

To properly build cubemaps, follow the instructions here:

• Building cubemaps (for Source)

Note: Source 2 does not require this step as cubemaps can be automatically built when "Build cubemaps on load" is checked in Hammer. If this option isn't checked, user can simply run "buildcubemaps" in console command.
