public static CubeTexture FromCubeFile(Device, string);
public static CubeTexture FromCubeFile(Device, string, int, int, Usage, Format, Pool, Filter, Filter, int);
public static CubeTexture FromCubeFile(Device, string, int, int, Usage, Format, Pool, Filter, Filter, int, ref ImageInformation);
public static CubeTexture FromCubeFile(Device, string, int, int, Usage, Format, Pool, Filter, Filter, int, ref ImageInformation, out PaletteEntry);
public static CubeTexture FromCubeFile(Device, string, int, int, Usage, Format, Pool, Filter, Filter, int, out PaletteEntry);

Remarks

This method supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga.

Cube textures differ from other surfaces in that they are collections of surfaces. To call Device.SetRenderTarget with a cube texture, select an individual face using CubeTexture.GetCubeMapSurface and pass the resulting surface to Device.SetRenderTarget.

The TextureLoader.FromCubeFile method uses the Microsoft DirectDraw surface (DDS) file format. The DXTex tool enables generation of a cube map from other file formats, and saves it as a .dds file.
