Text Reversal

Post by Morion »

I don't think this is a bug, but rather a question of different world co-ordinate systems. I have noticed that when I export a material (with froo's object exporter) with a text image on it (eg like the model Bentley car with 'Team Truespace' on the sides ) the text is reversed and not readable in other programs (eg Deep View, Deep Exploration, by Right Hemisphere).
Has anyone else noticed this?

Possibly the solution may be to apply a matrix transformation to the world co-ordinate matrix prior to exporting the model - although it seems that only text is affected, and this might mess up other things.

Any thoughts anyone???

Edit: I have a solution by reversing the text, left to right in Photoshop, before mapping it onto the object - and before exporting it. It then ends up the right way round.
