Can we use EXR or HDR as Skybox?

Is this supported or would you advise using PNG or JPEG instead for Skyboxes?

It’s using EXR out of the box, yes

Skybox will always be exported as a HDR texture since that looks just way better. Same as in Unity it’s definitely recommended to use HDR textures for your environments

Thanks, wasn’t sure if it was being converted to a png as the sample scenes have png skybox textures
