Mirror objects - Polyloop

Affuso · 8th September 2007, 21:07

okay... I modelled an hand ..after that I discovered that THERE IS NOT a command for made a mirrored copy of the object. I would to made the other hand..
Arggggggg... how is possible?

Any tips for doing a mirrored copy?
it seems me a sort of basic command for a modeller.

Milkshape can..problem solved.

That's certainly one solution. Another would be to explore Hexagon's symmetry command.

Yes but simmetry works only when you are modelling,
I did need something for mirrored an object that I have already finished it .

In that case you could duplicate your object. Select the hand polygons on this duplicate and dissociate them. Delete the rest of the duplicate, leaving only the hand. Apply symmetry to this hand and attach the new mirrored form to the original model.

I haven't used Hexagon very much so am hardly an expert. It may offer a better solution but at least this one gets the job done without out too much effort.

See these images.
Symmetry works any time.
Original object made months ago.
Mirrored object made today.
Yes. It is a basic command.

I'll try it. I have to read the manual, after all
