Hi.

When creating a rear-view mirror for a car driving game, like Driver/GTA3, you can simply create a viewport (the rear-view mirror) to display the view of a camera facing backwards. This works, however, the image in the viewport is not mirrored.

Is it possible to simply flip the viewport's, or even the rear-view camera's, display to show a true mirror image or do I have to manually create a mirror and do it that way (which may or may not be the intial answer)?

I was kind of hoping there would be a simple solution.
