Changing the ParkingLot.DDS to Chrome.DDS

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 17:48:44 GMT

OK, so I know one can change this reflection environment setting in the Application Options menu:

But how do I get this changed across the board, to all users? I recall or thought one could do such thru the registry. Granted I don't want users in the registry, but IT can push a script by such if I could just find it again.

Is this no longer possible or am I not remembering correctly?

And lastly, Autodesk, don't you think it's about time to get rid of that terrible example? No one wants a motorcycle or a bright yellow Mini Cooper showing up on their parts.

In the past, I've taken photos of water and used that for reflection, works a whole lot better.

This image has been complained about just about everywhere I've gone and today it just came up again. Let fix it huh?

Ask everyone with an Autodesk account in your office to vote for this idea (from 2018):

Easiest is to just go into the textures folder and delete/archive ParkingLot.dds and copy/rename "Chrome.dds" to "ParkingLot.dds".
