Mirror uv with model

[dagann]

yes it is possible
It should work with symmetry.
Apply an uwrap after that.

Thanks.. I do use symmetry modifier and after this i don't have uv mirrored too - thaey stay at the same place as first half of model. Do you mean something another?

If I got it right, you have to put the symmetry on top of uvw map if you want it to be mirrored.

[dagann]

here what to do.

I have just checked it up.

Select your object.
Add a symmetry or make a copy mirrored and attach it (that's what i do when i work)
After you can make a "collapse to" so you don't have a too big stack.
Add the unwrap modifier.
Open the edit of the unwarp modifier.
Tick "select element" in your selection modes.
Select the uv of the half of the object and move it.
And suddenly you will see the other half of your model which was hidden by the first half. (i'm i clear?)
Dont forget to weld the 2 uv parts (the stich tool is very useful)
