How can I mirror a deformer (like an FFD)?


#1

I tried with mirror tool and Symmetry object but it did not work as I want.
Then I find this but I can t see the answers. Maybe because I am not signed on.

Here is an example.:
I want to make this rig stronger by muscle with FFD. As you see it is difficult to create a similar FFD for the other leg (without any tool).
But if I mirror it the thigh and the ankle part is twitching.

I think I solve the problem :slight_smile:
.
After I mirror the FFD on X axis then I overwrote it coordinate (X) in the Object Properties to negative and then mirror it again. Woala…
.
(And I rotate the FFD points too, to fix the angle because I was changed the default FFD rotate in the first place. But much easier if the FFD is in the default rotations and change the rotation after you mirror it)

What happens if the character moves? And why you don’t use PoseMorphs?

Hi Jennifer_J
up to version 19 there was a great plugin called mess i used for mirror absolute everything.
I wish there could be a update on that plugin or something similar.
