I have a wing created from 3simple shapes (low poly bird!). This wing is animated nicely, and all the pivots are in the same position.

I want to mirror the wing over to -1 in X then freeze the transformations. It seems to happily do this but the normals are flipped now and the 3shapes are inside out. No problem I'll just reverse the faces I think but its having none of it. the faces are inside out still.

any solutions?

oops never mind.
I've just realised that it switches the double sided 'opposite' radio button to ON in my render stats. I switched this off and all is fine!!!!

I can freeze the transformations, reverse the faces, then just switch that radio button to OFF and I'm laffin!
