bayeng··on Recreating the Flying Toasters screen saver for the Vision Pro
Thank you for the recommendation! I applied a "Physically Based" material to the toasters, setting the "metallic" attribute to its maximum value. The app preview/screenshots might not fully showcase the potential metallic appearance, which depends on the lighting conditions and the selection of the right emissive color. I'll experiment some more to enhance its reflectiveness under a broader range of conditions.

| (The APIs don’t let you use the actual environment for reflections, right?) That's a good point..I don't know the answer to your question but maybe I just need to add a light source in the virtual world.

Yep, I wanted to get something out there and iterate based on feedback. Would love to hear suggestions!
