Hello everyone. long time no see… : )  
I.m loading an file.obj but the texture is flipped or flopped, not sure.  
Can I flip it?

I’m using the example code for loading shapes so far.  
The model has this files:

so the code is like this so far.

```auto
PShape terreno;

  
public void setup() {
  size(1920, 1080, P3D);   
  terreno = loadShape("Mariana_simplified_3d_mesh.obj");
}

public void draw() {
  background(0);
  lights();
  
  translate(width/2, height/2 + 100, -200);
  shape(terreno);
}

```

I just did:

```auto
PShape terreno;

  
public void setup() {
  size(1920, 1080, P3D);   
  terreno = loadShape("Mariana_simplified_3d_mesh.obj");
  
  // HERE ! :)
  terreno.scale(1, -1, 1);
}

public void draw() {
  background(0);
  lights();
  
  translate(width/2, height/2 + 100, -200);
  shape(terreno);
}

```

and worked…

so simple : )
