Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the best title for my question, but I’d like to create a metallic material with a glossy effect like this:
What would be the best approach to this?
If possible with the standard shader.
Thanks
If you only have a single object in the scene, you could rotate the skybox … try loading some metallic glb into https://playcanvas.com/viewer - perhaps this file https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/blob/master/examples/assets/models/playcanvas-cube.glb
Then select different skyboxes and use the rotation slider in the viewer.
If you need the effect be more localized, you could perhaps have a spot light orbiting around.

he … you can fake it like this: https://playcanvas.com/project/745104/overview/highlightreflection
would be more elegant with custom shader though …

Thank you @mvaligursky and @rtz23!
I will look into your solutions now.
I’ve already tried to use a moving spotlight and cubemap, but since I have multiple metallic objects, which already reflect the normal lights and environment, that approach involved a lot of tweaking 
@rtz23 your solution looks really similar to what I need, I’ll try that now.
Cheers
Edit: The approach with scrolling gradient texture on emissive channel works like a charm.
