Mirror VMaps

If there is already a selection when this tool is started, Mirror VMaps will be limited to the selection.

The Mirror VMaps tool can be used to copy selected VMaps from the +X or -X side of an object to the other side. The Mirror Axis Position can adjust for items that are not exactly on-axis, and the Tolerance value can be set for values that aren't purely symmetrical like faces, bodies, etc. The Make New VMap option creates a new VMap containing the copied data.

In this example, we copy the weight map from left ear to right. Then we undo and copy red to green in a new VMap. Even with the symmetry not being perfect, the result is good.

Note that we cannot copy green to red in this example because the green side has no weight map. If we had created a weight map for all points set to 0 %, then set the left ear to 100 % copying green to red would work.

You can use this tool to mirror vmaps selectively. With the VMap window open (F8), choose the maps that you wish to mirror. As is usual in Modeler, if nothing is selected, that means everything is selected.
