Hi all,
I’m in the process of texturing a plane. In the end it should look like this:
Right now, I’m having problems with the image texture of the left half. I already tried everything imaginable, but the texture doesn’t show up the way it should. What I’m getting is this:
The texture isn’t scaled properly, and in addition it’s mirrored. Where do I find an option to mirror it horizontally? Plus, the white in the texture appears grey.
TIA,
Claus
With no file it’s hard to guess what you’re trying to achieve, and how you’re attempting to do it.
Rotation of 2D (xy or uv) coordinates; mapping node with z rotation.
Skewing of 2D coordinates; separate xyc, x=x, y=y+(n*x), combine xyz.
Mirroring of 2D coordinates; mapping node with scale -1 in the direction you want to mirror.
Flip&mirror, a bit more intricate.
Ooops, the texture is missing. 
Here’s the file again, hopefully with texture:

Meanwhile I found out myself how to do it. I set “Scale X” to -1. I managed to render another scene:
cheese.blend (471 KB)
And here’s a first render:

Texture still missing. Normals appear to be flipped if that is where your normal camera is.
As you have UV unwrapped it (faces are overlapping though), you have two options:
> 2) Manipulate the UV layout.
How do I do that?
Meanwhile I made another render:
This is better, but I wasn’t able to attach a texture to the side of the cheese. I have a book, but it is not very helpful right now.

Here’s the file again. This time the textures are hopfully included (I found the respective option):
