flying bird - how to mirror bones?

[fxgogo]

I am just thinking off the top of my head, but have you tried using the mirror object(i think that is it's name)? I am not sure how it will react to bones, I have not used them yet.

I came across this problem recently and found that I could not just mirror,so I thought I was screwed and just made bones for the other wing,but then I saw a workaround on Naams site just for doing this,but I cant remember the damn url :annoyed:

Can anyone remember what month XL7 came out in last year?...I am thinking we might be able to work out a release date for 8 give or take a few weeks here and there :)

duplicate the bone-tree (first deactivate), and size/scale it -1 at the mirror-axis in the coordinate-manager (me uses german version, hope it is called so in english) - ouh yeah first u have to throw everything into a zero-object to be able to do that with the complete tree. that's it. didn't thought it would be that easy ... :buttrock:
