How to change reflected environment

How can I change the default, "studio" reflection on my very reflective model? I'd like to use an exterior HDRi.

I personally miss the ability to adjust the reflectiveness of the model, the light (lighter / darker) settings, and the "shadows" undeneath the model. The orignal model, expored as OBJ, constains settings for reflectiveness, wich is being ignored by Aero. Instead it uses a standard setting, which in my example means thet the elephant is too shiny, and the car is too dull, and I have no way to adjust it. It's good to have basic shadows, but when mixing it with a real background, it becomes obvious that a setting for shadow darkness and exposure would help a lot to make the mix between model and background look a lot better.

Hi, @Claes284543498tc4 what 3D program are you using to create materials for your assets. Have you looked at Stager for adjusting the roughness of the materials?

Mark; I've tried Blender, and Dimension and just got Stager to try this. I feels like the reflected environment is treated as a separate element than the model, and Aero lacks the capability to use anything other than the default.
