Hey guys,
I am making a robot (similar to the one in the Incredibles with the tentacles) and have one of the tentacles set up with joints, IK Sline Handle and various Driven controls. I know you can mirror joints from one side to the next but is it possible to mirror the entire setup (clusters, IK Handle etc) so I do not have to repeat the setup process for all 8 tentacles?
I guess this could be script territory but I cannnot seem to find anything....
Any helps would be greatly appreciated!
**EDIT** crazily, Ive just found this thread here started by someone doing the same as me but he seems to be using MAX...and I have tried duplicating with input connections checked...
