# init(reflectiveTexture:irradianceTexture:)

Initializes a light probe with the specified cube map textures.

## Declaration

```swift
init(reflectiveTexture: MDLTexture?, irradianceTexture: MDLTexture?)
```

## Parameters

- `reflectiveTexture`: A cube map texture that contains a rendering of a scene as seen from the light probe’s position.
- `irradianceTexture`: A cube map texture that contains samples of the total light arriving at the light probe’s position from every direction.

## Return Value

Return Value A new light probe object.

## Discussion

Discussion You can derive an irradiance map from a reflective texture with methods on the MDLTexture class, or when creating a light probe with the init(textureSize:forLocation:lightsToConsider:objectsToConsider:reflectiveCubemap:irradianceCubemap:) method.
