When did cubemapping appear in hardware

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/When did cubemapping appear in hardware

Wait a minute - you can't set up a competition, ask a question, offer a prize then claim you should have just Google'd it yourself.

I hope the mods are looking at this.

I spent several hours on the phone to multiple card manufacturers and industry people - some of which gave me false leads. Someone at ATI even claimed it was yet to be implemented in 3D hardware!!!
