Cubemap reflection

\examples\renderNodes\renderNodeCubeMapReflection.py

This script shows how to reflect the surrounding environment onto an object.

"""
This script demonstrates how to have a render node
render into a specific face of a cubemap.
The sphere in the center of the gallery is reflecting
the surrounding environment.
