'Eggcellent Pearl' Accessory by Roblox does not properly display intended reflectance

The Eggcellent Pearl (Eggcellent Pearl - Roblox) accessory from the 2016 Egg Hunt has a Reflectance value of 0.4 in the handle ingame.

Many hats on Roblox uploaded by the Roblox account on the Marketplace use these properties for things like the Metal Material in the Clockwork’s Golden Shades, or the many hats with transparency like the Ghost Fedora.


This reflectance property on the ‘Eggcellent Pearl’ having a 0.4 value clearly shows the hat was intended to be reflective.
However, the hat in-game shows no visible reflectance because of the Mesh’s Texture. The Texture also resembling a pearl further proves that this accessory was intended to be reflective as it was meant to mimic the appearance of a pearl.
Shown is the hat in it’s current state with the 0.4 Reflectance / 40% Reflectance, and a copy of the hat with no reflectance whatsoever. The experience they are shown in allows for reflections on other parts and accessories to be seen clearly.

Expected behavior

The accessory should display a visible reflective effect, possibly with a SurfaceAppearence, aligning with the intended pearl-like appearance.

Added reflectance via PBR with SurfaceAppearance MetalnessMap (Alphamode transparency, color value equal to avg color of texture):

Thank you for flagging this. We looked into this asset and found the handle is set to use a Neon shader, and the texture negates the effects of the shader (and the reflectance). The hat looks the way it was intended to look right now so we will not be making any updates.
