Hello, everyone.  
Can you teach me about texture? I want to display a gltf file of a partially metallic kitchen, but the metal is completely black and does not display well. I uploaded the file to the sandbox and the metal was displayed successfully. I have no idea what program it is using to make this possible.

```auto
BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "", "model.gltf", scene, function (newMeshes, particleSystems, skeletons) {
                   //Maybe, this is where the ambient texture should be set.
                }

```

Your help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

You have to use a [HDR environment](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/materials/using/HDREnvironment). Don’t hesitate to read other PBR articles ([Intro to PBR](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/materials/using/introToPBR), [Mastering PBR](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/materials/using/masterPBR)) 😉

An quick & easy way to do this is to use the createDefaultEnvironment helper: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#2FDQT5#966](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#2FDQT5#966)

Thank you so much!!! I could do that. The metallic quality came out well. I’ve been struggling with this for a long time so this is wonderful!  
I also visited your web site and it’s great to know the possibilities of Babylon.js. In particular, the interior simulator is what I’m trying to build now, so I’m learning a lot from it… 😍

Thanks, here the forum thread about the [apartment configurator](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/virtual-staging-apartment-configurator-by-axeon-software/1663) you’re talking about 😉
