Hello everybody !

Here my second test with Octane demo.

I have problem writing on my tube. The entries are in reverse!
Why? Is this a normal problem?

Thank you for your help.

It looks like a UV map problem.
Is the text correct on the other side of the tube?

a quick fix would be to open the texture in Photoshop and flip horizontally and then cc 180

Thank you for your answers, so here the image of the UV map on blender
to answer greg.Thoman the text is so invert on the other side (same on both sides)
It is on by reversing on photoshop, the problem would be solved but it does not explain why ...

select the uv's on that face and scale them by -1 and reposition. It seems somehow, your uv map got mirrored.
