How can I use an environment map in my scene? How can I change it or set up a map that will affect my model? ---

You can import the real-time reflecitons module to your project. [https://www.8thwall.com/8thwall/modules/reflections](https://www.8thwall.com/8thwall/modules/reflections) This module also includes a static refleciton which generates a static cubemap from a series of image assets and applies it as an environment map to a glb model. There is more information in the README on how to implement a custom cubemap (environment map) ---

Thanks once again Ian ! I I have imported the real time reflection module and i would like to use the :type realtime, but the metallic txture of my model doesn’t look good !!? ![Screenshot 2024-05-06 at 21.24.18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/1X/ce998d9e13a0b9d11577655b9ddbf3767806e6e6.jpeg) ---

Can you remove the “space” in front of your type on reflecitons. this may be a typo. Can you share how your model looks in the 3D viewer? With a env map turned on. ---

Is this the 8th Wall 3D viewer? When you click on the 3D model in your project? Please verify. ---

Actually you have a typo! you have `reftections="type: realtime"` Instead you need: `reflections="type: realtime"` ---
