Converting your cubemaps into HDR images has never been easier.

CubeMap Converter, the ultimate lightweight solution to convert your cubemaps into HDRs, will be released today. HDR images give you the best results but can be very expensive, especially when looking for quality while cubemaps are cheap and cheerful and can be found almost everywhere.
