Hello.^^.sharp 3D is being used well for interiors. But I have a question about color and lighting. When using a wood pattern, it is impossible to set the direction of the wood pattern, and does the light only come out in the specified direction? It would be nice if the direction of the pattern and the direction of the lighting were changed.
