When assigning a diffuse texture, it is applied correctly to the mesh, however when assigning the same texture through the inspector applies it mirrored:

Yep, that’s it 🙂 [Babylon.js/packages/dev/inspector/src/components/actionTabs/lines/textureLinkLineComponent.tsx at 6ff4ecab38ef4ce9a5c3f517415482176dae0a53 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/6ff4ecab38ef4ce9a5c3f517415482176dae0a53/packages/dev/inspector/src/components/actionTabs/lines/textureLinkLineComponent.tsx#L163C48-L163C49)
