Flipped Texture Image When Rendered?

Rhino Rhino for Mac

Wondering what’s going on here. I have an applied image that when rendered it flips 180 degrees. Is this normal, a bug, or have I flubbed something?

I see a similar problem posted a couple years ago in the Windows forum: Render Display Mode and Texture Rotations

(Disclaimer: as a Steelers fan, working on this is confusing in more ways than one!)

i think it might be because the _Dir is pointing inwards… (so you’re seeing the backface but rendering does the front face).

try Flip then render.

edit

also, just a heads up… texture images aren’t stored in the .3dm on mac… so other people without the same texture on their computer get this:

Flipping the surface did correct the orientation. Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff!

That said, something remains strange since I can’t repeat the problem as might be expected on a flipped surface.

I did a test with these two surfaces, one with flipped normals and one that was correct. Curiously, both images oriented properly both in Render View and when Rendered.

Then, I thought maybe the problem might occur only if one originally applies an image to a flipped surface. However, comparing two new flat planes, (one flipped and one not) the image worked properly for both view types. Hmmmm…

Here’s the image map in case anyone want to futz around with it. As you can see, I had to apply this as a reversed image to make things work, which I assumed may be due to this object being in negative Z space?
