Why is my imported HDRI so pixellated?

That’s what I meant by when I said HDRs are imported as cubemaps and limited to a max resolution. I haven’t been able to find where that hardcoded size limitation is at to change locally, but you can reimport the image as an EXR. You’ll have to recreate the UV input for your material though.

I’m sorry I’m a bit of an amateur with texturing, and I’ve got a couple of questions:

Firstly, How do you recreate the UV input

Secondly, my hdri looks pretty washed out, as you can see in this thread:

How do I get the colours back to normal or at least how they’re represented in the texture, in which case I can leave the max resolution at 2048?

I massively appreciate ALL your very kind help!
