Can you make a mirror of a object and make it like an instance object.
You see, I'm working on this face, and I'm doing just half the face, but I want to see the whole face as an instance mirror. How would I do this? I have tried many thing but I can't get it right.
Oh, and I'm working on a Polygonal object.

Go to the 'Duplicate' option box. Set one of the scale values to -1 (depends on how your model is oriented in the scene) and check the 'Instance' box/button and hit 'duplicate' That should create a mirrored copy with instance.

Oh just a quick question while on subject
Can you do something like un-instancing the objekt, I mean make it like a normal copy, when you're done with it.

and just check Copy instead of Instance :)
