Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that render a reflective surface of a computer-generated reality (“CGR”) object based on synthesis in a CGR environment. In order to render a reflective surface of the CGR object, one exemplary implementation involves synthesizing an environment map of a CGR environment representing a portion of a physical scene based on observed characteristics of the physical scene. In an implementation, generation of a complete environment map includes identifying pixels of the environment map with no corresponding texture and generating synthesized texture based on textural information associated with one or more camera images of the physical scene. In an implementation, a CGR object is rendered in the CGR environment, wherein an appearance of a reflective surface of the CGR object is determined based on the complete environment map of the CGR environment.
