Hello everyone!

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use an image, particularly in the HDR or EXR format, as the backdrop for Blender's virtual universe, enabling us to light our scene with a more intriguing illumination than a simple uniform color or Blender's Sky Texture.

Furthermore, we'll discuss three different methods to rotate the background of the virtual universe, allowing us to alter the scene's lighting and observe the changes in real-time within the 3D Viewport preview.

This tutorial is aimed at beginners and was recorded using v. 3.3 of Blender.

However, the concepts and tools we'll cover have been available across several software versions and will likely continue to be so in the future.
