It gets rid of any unnecessary topology while maintaining your the rest of your geometry. Its exceptional at connecting two objects together as it welds the points making it one. Using Mirror and Weld to connect Geometry is a great way to avoid having to use Dynamesh, which completely recalculates your geometry. I’ve even been able to use this to block out characters by welding various spheres together. Simply weld a few different shapes together and you can get some interesting forms. This method is great for easily blocking out shapes. You can join and create new geometry simply by off-centring it and using Mirror and Weld on the various axis. Mirror and Weld is great for creating new geometry similar to the example previously with the spheres. Using the Mirror and Weld works great in conjunction with brushes like these and can really assist with your workflow. This works great for any model whether its Hard Surface or Character Modelling.Ĭertain brushes such as the Trim Brushes simply do not work in Symmetry. Mirror and Weld is great for this you can simply press the button and your back on track. Occasionally you may forget to sculpt in symmetry and you don’t want to undo or restart all your hard work. Probably one the most common usage of Mirror Weld is for restoring Symmetry to your model. Common Usages Restoring Symmetry to Your Model Its in one of those menus you can easily just skim over. You can actually modify the position under Geometry – Position.

One pro tip if you are positioning your model for a mirror and weld and you are looking for more precision then just using the move tool. The tool itself is really easy to use, simply choose what axis you are mirroring and then click the button. You can access it through the menu on the right hand side under Geometry – Modify Topology. Now you are of in the position to use Mirror & Weld.
Then as in the example above if you turn on the Floor Grid you can see where the central point is for each axis. How Do You Access and Use Mirror & WeldĪccessing Mirror & Weld is easy however there is a little setup you need to do first.įirst you need ensure you have converted your object to a Polymesh 3d.
In the second example below the sphere does not touch the centre point and it creates 2 pieces of geometry.Īs you can see from this example geometry and shapes can be created easily using this tool. As such it creates a single piece of geometry with the spheres merged at the centre point. In the first example the negative side crosses of the positive side of the X axis. If there are no polys touching the centre point then it creates two separate pieces of geometry.Īs an example lets look at the below we have a simple sphere subtool. If any part of the object is in the Positive it is removed and replaced with a duplicate of the Negative side.Īny any polys that touch the centre point are connected to form one a single single piece of geometry (hence the Weld). Mirror and Weld mirrors whatever is on the Negative side of the axis to the Positive. As the name implies Mirror and Weld mirrors the topology from side of the X, Y or Z access to the other.
