ld_MirrorMe Tool for Maya Creates mirrored Controllers BlendShapes & Clusters

Lee Dunham shows off his new tool for easing mirroring tasks in Autodesk Maya ld_MirrorMe. ld_MirrorMe can quickly and easily create mirrored controllers, BlendShapes, and even Clusters which makes ld_MirrorMe a great tool for the rigging process in Maya.

(Also includes quick use of my free ld_createSoftCluster tool – ldunham.blogspot.com/2012/03/python-create-cluster-from-soft.html)
Feedback/ideas would be cool.

ld_MirrorMe for Maya has 3 modes

Curve, Mesh and Cluster (at present)

• Curve – Primarily for mirroring nurbs curves for controllers
• Mesh – Primarily for mirroring blendshapes (can mirror multiple targets at the same time)
• Cluster – (developing for other deformers), given a deformer and its mesh will mirror the deformer over giving a correctly mirrored pivot and origin based on the objects pivot.

ld_MirrorMe, the mirror tool specifically for rigging in Maya also has these handy features:

• Search and replace feature,
• Choose mirror axis,
• Choose new objects position,
• World based – will work wherever or whatever the targets connected to,
• Entries retained, no need to keep adding same object of multiple copies needed,
• Simple to use.
