The new accessory, “Clockwork’s Golden Shades” does not include the PBR texture shown in the promotional GIF on the Robux purchase page. The GIF displays the material as “Metal,” but when purchased, the shades do not include any PBR texture, leading to a discrepancy between the marketing and the actual product. This is similar to the previous issue with the “Sinister G” accessory, which was marketed with PBR but lacked texture.
Are you testing it in a game with shadowmap/future lighting and specular scale set to 1? Metalness does not apply to voxel lights and specular scale controls how strong the metalness map is applied.
The PBR effect only works in games that have the latest lighting technology enabled. In this case, Catalog Avatar Creator is using an old lighting system that doesn’t support PBR. You need to join a game that is more up to date with the lighting system to see the effect.
This is such an easy fix. The shades just need to have the mesh’s material switched back to plastic (as the headphones are) and use the same SurfaceAppearance property that the headphones use to achieve that golden effect in-game while in R15.
Also, here’s another fun fact. The Gold Clockwork Headphones use the hex color code #bd8e43 while the Clockwork’s Golden Shades use #bf9042 on their respective base textures. So even if the suggested fixes above were implemented to the shades, they still wouldn’t match whilst worn together, mostly on R6 since PBR textures aren’t supported on that. So if any staff plan on fixing this, please don’t forget to properly match their texture’s colors too!
