Hello VFX & Animation Professionals! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm excited to introduce a powerful addition to your Maya toolkitโ€”MirrorObjects! ๐ŸŒŸ

Mirroring objects is a common task in 3D modeling and rigging, but doing it manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. MirrorObjectsย automates this process, allowing you to quickly mirror selected objects across a specified axis with just a few clicks.

  • Efficient Mirroring:ย Instantly mirror objects across X, Y, or Z axes.

  • Customization: Choose whether to mirror geometry, transformations, or both.

  • User-Friendly Interface:ย Simplifies the mirroring process, saving you time and reducing errors.
