Is possible to miror a Camera?

I'm very sorry for my probably stupid question, but I need to have a Camera that realizes a classic single shot and another one identical but mirroring (in the horizontal axes) the image (the same making in Photoshop "horizontal mirroring").
Is possible using an OSL script?

Many thanks

Luca

Thanks a lot for your reply, but I need that the camera stays in the same position and shot one image in the normal way and another with horizontal mirroring.
I know this is not related strictly with Octane but I think could be resolved with an OSL script, unless I forget some basic c4d command!

yes it is unfortunately really not self-explanatory in Cinema 4D.

Put everything but the camera in a null, make a new take, change X size to -1 in the new take. Example attached

The reason why I can't flip in photoshop is that I have a huge quantity of these images since I'm doing a configurator, but, I know it's an option to make a batch procedure.

Thanks, Korma for your help this seems the only option that I have since I don't know what could happen to my scene (and all my Takes!) if I flip all in "main". I'll do a test.

I thought that would be possible only to flip my camera...

ok, also after doing all the Takes (there are about 1000) enclosing all the scene except cameras in a null obiect don't broke nothing and now I can mirror all the entire scene changing the X scale to -1.
Thanks to all.

I did this a few weeks ago with only a few takes and it was a huge pain in the end. I would not rejoice too soon ;)
