I have enabled screen-space reflections both on render and material options, I have baked indirect lighting, enabled shadows. Then I upgraded the video driver (Intel HD 4400) and yet, this little problem seems to persist: The environment texture doesn't appear on the reflection, only the direct light.

The preview of the material, however, seems to be working fine. Image of Setup

  • $\begingroup$ I don't think you need an irradiance volume or a reflection sphere to reflect the HDRI - in fact it might be messing with it. Irradiance volume only captures indirect light, and reflection sphere helps with scene reflections - but is not needed for world reflections. I think you might have more success if you deleted them. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Deleting them unfortunately doesn't change anything. Flat or Smooth shading the cube also doesn't change the environment reflections. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hey, I posted an answer. You need to delete the lighting cache after deleting the probes. $\endgroup$

I just checked out your .blend file. You don't need an irradiance volume or a reflection sphere to reflect the HDRI - in fact, in this case, it is messing with it. Irradiance volume only captures indirect light, and reflection sphere helps with SCENE reflections - but is not needed for WORLD reflections. It works if you delete them, and then delete the lighting cache - see below:

If you want to see more of the world reflected, I would also suggest you lower your roughness a bit, but that's up to you and what you want to use it for.

Cheers

  • $\begingroup$ I tried doing that, but it really doesn't solve the problem on my machine, the result remains the same. Could it be something with my video card? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I 'm not sure. I downloaded your file, deleted the volumes, then the lighting cache, and i'm currently staring at a shiny cube. I changed nothing else. If it's not working on your machine, i'm not sure what's wrong. $\endgroup$
