The difference is that the beacon is automatically updated whenever
something above it in the graph changes. The MatrixCameraDecorator
matrices are fixed and need to be updated by you every frame. The beacon
matrices are in the scenegraph and are updated automatically.
For your case the idea would be to use the the object you want to
cubemap as the beacon and then use the decorators to get the 6
directions. The tricky part is that the camera will use the same
direction as the object and not the principal axes. That might make
things a little more complicated, depending on what you do with your
cubemap.
Hope it helps
Dirk
