Hi Paride4331, I tested this approach, because I am desperate for a solution ~ but when I replace the image as illustrated, all I get is a black render in Octane.

kindly show me a step by step on how best to use it ~ I think there are some steps missing. Do you have to add a light to the scene for example?

Hi solomonfl,
I think you've just forgotten to select "Diffuse filter" instead of "beauty" pass.

Thank you. So this is what I did. I went to my current scene and Selected Cubemap in the Octane Camera Type options.

Then Rendered out a Cubemap, which I used in the scene you provided.

Without Changing anything other than swapping out the Cubemap image in the material properties of the cube in the scene ~ I saved the resulting render cubemap and took it to
Unity, and added it as a Material, and changed the Texture type to a cubemap ~ in the preview all looks great ~ But when that cubemap is assigned to a Skybox and added to the Direct Lighting skybox option, the image is flipped back to that mirrored state I am trying to resolve.

Hi solomonfl,
Do you have the same issue in the skybox with both cubemap then?

Hi Paride, I am not sure I understand what you mean by both cubemap?

Hi salomonfl,
I mean, so have you problems with original cubemap and flipped cubemap too in skybox?

Yes both of them for some reason.

That's why I am hoping that an option can be provided so there is both a mirror option and one that turns off the mirroring of the render.
