- In the
Animation and
Rigging menu sets:
Deform > (Create) Mirror Deformer Weights
>
Opens the Mirror Deformer Weights Options window. See also Mirror deformer weights.
Mirror across
Select the plane you want weights mirrored across.
- XY
-
Specifies mirroring weights about the global XY plane (the default).
- YZ
-
Specifies mirroring weights about the global YZ plane.
- XZ
-
Specifies mirroring weights about the global XZ plane.
- Direction
-
Specifies direction of the mirroring along the specified Mirror across plane. The option updates depending on which Mirror across axis you choose, for example: Positive to Negative (+Z to -Z).
When on, mirrors weights from the positive side to the negative.
- Create New Deformer
-
When on, creates a new deformer. When off, no new deformer is created.
Surface Association
Determines how the surface components on opposite halves of the object correlate to each other. Select from the following:
- Closest point on surface
-
Finds the closest points between the source and target surfaces and smoothly interpolates the weights at those points. This is the default setting.
- Ray cast
-
Uses a raycasting algorithm to determine sample points between the two surface meshes.
- Closest component
-
Finds the closest vertex component (polygons) or control vertex (NURBS) at each sampling point and uses its skin weight value without interpolation.
