There is something weird going on. When I render a cube map, with x, y z ... the final render is flipped, almost like the Render engine is mirroring the final render. When I switch to Standard, and render, everything looks fine

Hi solomonfl,
The notified problem is not a bug .
The cube map is a projection of a cube, then you 'll see the flipped.
You 'll see your render properly with Vr viewer.

Correct. This is the format Carmack suggested for quick mapping to GL cube map on load.

That's not the case in Unity ~ when I render the images and use them on a Skybox, they stay flipped as they were in Octane. I am using the 6 sided option for the skybox

is there a way to render without forcing it to mirror the render?

Baked from cube with inverted rays

Hi solomonfl,
when you will bake your cubemap on the cube,
in unwrap keep in mind to follow the following order: X- X+ Y- Y+ Z- Z+
To invert the cubemap check the Revert command in Ocantecamera modifier.

Thanks Paride4331, So what are the steps you go through from switching to Baking to the final render?

Thanks Goldorak, kindly share the step by step workflow ~ or at a least a video showing how to go about that.

There was an earlier post on the forums covering this approach. I am going to have to look it up.
