You can mirror deformer weights, either from one surface to another, or within the same surface. You can also mirror deformer weights on selected components of the surface.
Similar to mirroring skin weights, note the following for best results when mirroring deformer weights:
- The surface should be centered on the global axis, or at least aligned along the axes you want to mirror about.
- The surface should be in a pose that is symmetrical across the mirror-plane.
