Discussion
The file is assumed to be a single image that includes the six faces of the cube map. The image’s height must be six times the width, and the images should be arranged in the following order from top to bottom: Right(+x), Left(-x), Top(+y), Bottom(-y), Front(+z), Back(-z). This coordinate system is left-handed if you think of yourself within the cube. The coordinate system is right-handed if you think of yourself outside of the cube.
Alternatively, the image can have a width that is six times the height, and arranged from left to right, but this takes additional processing to load.
This class method loads the texture into the sharegroup attached to the current context for the thread this method is called on.
