I had no idea about Blender Asset Libraries until I got your adjustable mannequin tool and this video is a brain blast of more info about it! Definitely something I want to look into more.

Thank you soo much!!!! This fixed the issue I was having with my Substance Painter texture going into blender. It was rendering fine in viewport but exporting it looked completely different til now, yay!

I googled "use hdr in blender" and this was one of the top results, and I am very glad I took the time to just watch it when I saw it was only a few minutes long - you have packed a bunch of extra useful tips I've somehow never found before into a short and sweet video. Easy sub

That's a useful tutorial, but it would be much easier to just download the Poly Haven add-on 😅

So hdris are used not for the background but for the lighting that they gave?
