I have the oak wood material applied to some dowel shapes, but I want the grain pattern to be 90° of its current orientation so that the grain runs the length of the dowels instead of wrapping around them. I see I can adjust the scale, but is it possible to change the orientation? Thanks! [image]

Work is ongoing, we expect to deliver some of the functionality in November / early December if we don’t run into unforeseen issues.
