Do you mean Sphere Mapping (the reflective sphere)? If so, I have no clue .

Sphere or cube mapping may work to make it reflective. You may have to model (or alter the verticies in DBPro somehow) to get a cube like that, for I am unsure if there is a shader that makes an object's edges become smoothed out. You can use SET SPHERE MAPPING ON and SET CUBE MAPPING ON to try and get the reflection going... (or you can go to the ULTIMATE SHADER THREAD and use another sphere/cube mapping shader to get the reflection effect). But if it's the smoothness you want you'll have to model it or alter its verticies. Someone made some functions for the vertex altering thing a while back...

It's just the specular reflection. It can be done in DBPro with Set object specular and Set object specular power.

You have to play with the light to see the changes.

The effect is pretty bad with a simple cube, but with a better model, you can have the same render as in your image.

I think i know how you achieve that effect.
look around in the dbpro file, in the projects folder or something, and there is a file called sphere mapping or something. im sure of it.
