    Hi everyone

    Is there a tutorial anywhere or can someone describe how to achieve those nice glossy reflections across the iphones screen as it rotates? Is it basically like setting up a light and placing a panel infront to block half the light and get that sharp edge?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi,
    A few ways to do this –

    1 -You could create a sky object, and place an HDRI or other environment texture on the sky. Make the sky not visible to the camera, but visible to reflections by using a compositing tag.

    2- Use a texture in the environment channel of the material for your screen

    3- You could actually set up some white cards using planes around your object, and have reflective on in your material.
