Mirror Object - Un-mirror texture inside max?

miauu

What I do:
1. Create an box
2. Apply testure to box
3. Use Mirror tool and mirror the box at X axis
The problem is - the texture is also mirrored

What I want to do:
1. the object to stay mirrored
2 the textures to be un-mirrored inside MAX(I don't want to use PS or other software).

Is is possible? I want to script this, but don't know if it is possible, and if it is - how to do it.

un-mirroring the UV is one way to do it.

Thanks.
Can I mirror the object without mirroring the UVs?

perhaps you could use the modifier stack like so:
UVW unwrap
Mirror
Editable Poly

or inplace of UVW unwrap use UVW xform and flip the axis you mirror on

Silix, thank you. UVW Xform is the solution.

i'm actually right now sitting here at work, with a scene using this exact same setup and i do not need the UVW xform modifier.
just plain:

Editable Poly
Mirror
UVW Map (not unwrap though, as it wasnt neccessary)

else you could try parametric maps like smoke and set them to world orientation, rather than the mapped one.

xXm0RpH3usXx, your method does not work for me. Maybe I don't know how to use id properly.

i took a screenshot of a quick setup i made.
i hope i did not misunderstand you, but this is what works for me.
