Mirror
The Mirror modifier provides a parametric method of mirroring an object or a sub-object selection. You can apply the Mirror
modifier to any type of geometry, and you can animate the mirror effect by animating the modifier's gizmo.
TipWhen modeling the left or right side of a character for mirroring to the opposite side, use the
Symmetry modifier to create the other side. Its Weld Seam feature helps create a more natural-looking model.
Procedures
To apply the Mirror modifier:
- Apply the Mirror modifier to a selection.
- Set the axis or axis pair on which to mirror the object.
- To create a mirrored pair, specify an Offset amount and turn on Copy.
