ZOO MIRROR GEO – OVERVIEW

Zoo Mirror Geo contains all of Maya’s mirroring tools in one handy location.

This tool also adds extra functionality to Instance Mirror and Mesh > Mirror workflows and fixes other common mirror problems as well.

THE PROBLEM

Maya’s mirror tools are difficult to find and missing functionality.

THE SOLUTION

Zoo Mirror Geo adds all mirroring tools in one handy location.

We’ve also added,

Zoo Mirror Polygon: An automated workflow for mirroring using Mesh > Mirror

Mirror Obj Instance: Automates the creation and management of instance mirroring.

We’ve also fixed mesh-mirroring in object space, which fails if the object has had it’s transforms frozen.

Make mirroring easy with Zoo Mirror Geo.

Mirror Mode Toggle: alt m
