Mirrored Animations?

[Amaranthim Talon]

Hello all- I use QA and have not found a way to Mirror an animation- meaning, create an identical mirrored rendition of an existing animation - not create two animations then add one mannequin into the other and then pose them together.

Is such a feat possible in any other animation program and if so, please make suggestions. Thank you.

Hey Amaranthim,

Hmmm, you know, I use Qavi just for this purpose. Really, I don't use Qavi, other than to do this. The Mirror feature, for me, in under Tools. Generally, I have to click off the avatar, onto the ground, then Tools/Mirror to mirror the whole animation. To just mirror a part, you'd click the part and then Tools/Mirror. I have no idea if I'm using a different version.

Poser has a mirroring tool, under Figure/Symmetry, but I won't call it handy or better than how Qavi does it. Dazstudio also has something related, which is a bit robust. I'm not totally sure about Blender, but there are now 2 different animation tools for blender that are made for SL. 1 is called Avastar and the other is posted in this forum, somewhere.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Medhue! (You know, still hoping you will get around to a super SLat tut )

I had used the latest QA 'til some one here asked about cutting a frame - something I had never been able to do- a link was posted to an older QA that did it and I stopped using the newer one at all. So, on the 2008 05-02 version of QA- you can cut frames but there is no Tool available. Now in the 2009 version, Tool, Mirror exists!

Yay and thanks so much for pointing this out to me

Wish creator wd kinda combine best of both worlds but hey, I can live with this.

Thanks again Medhue!
