Hi,
As you can see in the image below, the metal is reflecting the light very strongly, which makes it extremely bright and can be quite distracting.
However, I need the PointLight to stay exactly where it is right now.
How can I reduce the metal’s reflection without changing the light source?
Sometimes I forget that custom materials is a niche skill, so my first instinct was to recommend doing that. It’s a skill worth investing in though, if you want to never have problems like this one again.
You can try adjusting the atmosphere because that affects metals.
Metal on Roblox can be tricky. It can be so frustrating that it’s worth avoiding. I recommend switching materials though, smooth plastic might be preferable.
You can maybe make the metal darker too, or can you turn down the point lights brightness?
you can reupload the default metal textures and adjust the roughness map in any photo editor
create a MaterialVariant based on the metal material and edit the Roughness and Metalness properties. Then set the part’s MaterialVariant property to it
