MirrorScript Symmetry Tool v1.3 by Tsarina Mint
This tool mirrors both linksets and single prims, as long as you have the appropriate permissions (refer to Section 3 below). Simply drag the script(s) into an object to mirror it.
*A mirrored object is simply the reflection of the original object in a particular direction. For example, mirroring a left shoe will turn it to a right shoe.
NOTE: This script does NOT work with mesh.
1. FEATURES
- Mirror in any of 3 directions (X, Y, Z).
- Works for just about all normal and "tortured" prims, except for some issues with the "dimple trick" (correctable manually) and revolutions - refer to section 2 below on Limitations.
- Works for linksets with flexi-prims.
- Works for sculpted objects (requires full permissions).
- Mirrors textures and colors as well (requires full permissions), even with hollows, profile cuts, etc... Flexible option to NOT mirror textures (faster, but may result in textures being in incorrect locations in some mirrored prims).
- Easy to use - Rez a copy of the object, drag the provided script(s) into it, click on the object, and select mirror direction.
- Easy and precise alignment of mirrored objects to match their original counterparts.
- Maintains linkset order.
- Multiple objects can be mirrored at the same time.
- Option to remove scripts automatically after mirroring
- Free script upgrades
For known limitations, please refer to section 2 below.
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT COPY OR CREATE OBJECTS, NOR DOES IT MODIFY OBJECTS' PERMISSIONS. IT SIMPLY MIRRORS AN EXISTING OBJECT.
----------------------------------
2. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
1. Small prims created using the "dimple trick" (now known as slice), will not have the dimple values carried over due to SL scripting restrictions. It is quite easy, however, to adjust the mirrored prim manually (instructions included in the product).
2. The "Revolutions" attribute of prims (only torus, tube, or ring) must be a whole number for proper mirroring (e.g. 4.00 is fine but 4.30 is not).
3. The MirrorScript does NOT work correctly on mega-prims (mega-prims turn back into normal prims) due to SL restrictions.
4. The MirrorScript does NOT work correctly on mesh.
----------------------------------
3. REQUIRED PERMISSIONS
You MUST have modify rights to an object in order to mirror it using this script.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you have the copy rights to any object that you intend to mirror so that you can make a backup of it before mirroring.
FULL PERMISSIONS are required for the mirroring of TEXTURES, as well as SCULPTED objects. This is because Second Life does not allow the reading of textures of any object that you do not have full perms to, including sculpt maps. If you wish to mirror an object without mirroring its textures , you can omit the Texture plugin (however, it may result in textures in the wrong faces of the mirrored object). Unfortunately, this still does NOT work on sculpted objects to which you do not have full perms.
----------------------------------
That's all. Have fun using this script - I hope it makes your building experience a far more pleasant one :)
- Reflect prims or linksets about an axis (e.g. left shoe becomes right shoe)
- Works for most normal and tortured prims (please see limitations)
- Mirrors sculpties, flexi-prims, and textures (requires full permissions)
- Maintains linkset order
- Free script upgrades
Excellent and easy to use!
This script has good instructions and most importantly - scripts that do *exactly* what I need them to do. Unlike some other mirror tools I tried, this tool has several choices of how you want your object mirrored, which is very important since it makes a big difference in the finished product. What a time-saver in making things like skirts and capes where I really need something perfectly mirrored. I recommend this to any creator.
So far it's great!
I bought this because it said all you had to do was drop a script into your link set. And it really is just that easy!
I had been using another link-mirror tool from a different seller before getting this. There were multiple steps to it that I could never remember because i didn't use it that often, so I had to look at the instruction list every single time . It was really a pain.
So this is easy, and totally worth the buy. So far I haven't had any problems with it. Great product!
This tool is a godsend!!
Worked great the very first time i tried it, instructions are clear and concise, easy to understand... was a lil nervous since i hadn't used one of these before, but in seconds i had an exact mirror copy of the shoe i had made!! :D
Splendid product!
Easy! Worked exactly as described on the first try.
its awesome! :O
as a sculpter, this tool saved me tons of hours trying to mirror my sculpts especially shoes! its fast, super easy to use and very accurate! it can mirror x, y or z of your choice, creator is really sweet and helpful too!... highly recommended!
Great work ....
A customer wanted one of our builds but the other way round - grabbed this script and have to say great, really quick. Don't worry to much about mega-prims not copying - you can always just unlink the original and use that one - done!
