Join Christopher Broeska for an in-depth discussion in this video Mirroring the polygons and UVs to build the other side, part of Modeling Characters in Cinema 4D.
…So now that we finished setting up our UVs in the UV Edit Layout.…Let's go ahead and jump into our standard layout.…And mirror all of our work.…So the first thing we'll do is drag our head…model out of our subdivision service and master symmetry hierarchy.…And we'll double click and rename it Body.…Let's select polygons. We'll go into our front view.…We'll select all. Let's right click and choose mirror.…We'll change our coordinate system to object.…And we'll change our mirror plane to Zy.…
We'll click Apply.…And you can see we've got a nice looking mirror of our character.…You've got both sides created now.…So let's go ahead and check on our UVs, lets…check UV polys and with this side still selected that we mirrored,…grab your Move tool and just move those over and…you can see It's dragging the neighboring polys with it.…That's because we have keep face neighbor still active.…
Let's go ahead and turn that off, and now we'll slide him over.…I'm…going to go ahead and grab my rectangular selection, select those feet.…
