You create a Cube Map to represent your environment; Sphere Maps are also possible, but often look distorted. Basically you give the environment map a set of images showing a "`360°`" view of the background scene – very similar to a skybox. The renderer maps the environment on the texture of the reflective surface, which results in an acceptable "`glass/mirror/water`" effect. Just like a skybox, the reflection map is static, so dynamic things (such as the player walking) are not part of the reflection. (!)

-A procedural texture is generated from repeating one small image, plus some pseudo-random, gradient variations (called Perlin noise). Procedural textures look more natural than static rectangular textures, and they look less distorted on spheres. On big meshes, their repetitiveness is much less noticable than with tiled seamless textures. Procedural textures are ideal for irregular large-area textures like grass, soil, rock, rust, and walls. Use the <<sdk/neotexture#,jMonkeyEngine SDK NeoTexture plugin>> to create them.

There is another workflow known as the "`Specular Workflow`". In the metalness workflow the albedo map is used for both diffuse color and specular color. "`Specular Workflow`" uses a specular color map instead. In this workflow, the albedo map is the diffuse color, the specular map is the specular color, and you have a gray scale gloss map that is the same as the roughness map. The workflow is very similar to the old techniques used for making materials.

Read the three part series of articles called, Physically Based Rendering, that can be found under the <<jme3#materials-light-shadow,Materials, light, Shadow>> topic for a more in depth explanation of PBR textures. This is a must read for any serious jME developer.
