I Render crash

Wood texture help

Trying to do an interior with lots of different color woods. Using the sketchup defaults are limited and quite frankly the grain doesn't always look great.  Have never used the .ar materials, tried it and first of all, the images/colors when selected

New Video - Positioning HDRi Sky

There is a Rotation setting on HDRi skies and backgrounds which lets you rotate the HDRi. But it is rather difficult to use - since you often have to rotate the HDRI, re-render, view the result, and repeat until you get what you want.
