Hello, I’ve been working on a truck configurator and everything is working really nice! Congrats on your awesome software.

I would like to know if it’s possible to use the HDRI as a background. My problem right now is that the HDRI is way too big so the truck seems to be floating in the middle. Is it possible to scale it (something similar as activating “ground” in vray hdri)?

Thanks.

The only way to change scale of the object of the HDRi map is to rerender it with another scale of objects if you made it by yourself or find another with smaller scale of objects.

Thanks for the reply Mikhail, do you know of any other way to accomplish this? What I need to do is simulate the truck is in different outdoor environments.
Please see this link to see an example (when you click change-scene).

You can put a plane uder the truck wheels with a sand texture and blend it on it’s corners so it will smoothly blended with hdri.
