How do I make Reflective Graphics

How do you get Reflective Graphics seen in games? such as Neon District, Summer Forest or Detroit

I would like to achieve graphics the same as this.



Sadly, I can’t work out how to replicate the same graphics as shown in these games, I tried Playing around with the lighting settings.

Thanks for Reading.

I’m not entirely sure, as I haven’t messed around with graphics too much, but wouldn’t you have to set the reflectance level of an object up?

I’ll try putting it up and see if it makes a difference.

There are several methods to replicate shine, including some interesting illusions. One of the most important parts is having a sky-box that has what you want to reflect. Roblox doesn’t support ray-tracing (yet), so the reflection off of parts and water uses the skybox. If the skybox looks similar to the build, reflections can give the impression of replicating the 3d space.
You can also use a layer of water, then a transparent part with a texture on top. The transparent parts of the texture shows through as “puddles”, while the non-transparent makes up the visible floor.

usually the method is just water under a semi transparent ground as water is the only true reflective surface in roblox creating the illusion of a reflective surface
