How do i mirror deformers- im new, starting today -n-

[alpine dune]

i been tyring to fiugure out how but idkkkk (ignore the eyes, im just leaving them there for now- this happenes when i try to mirror the deformers ;-; im pretty confused, its my first like hours on here so i have zero clue on how to do it-

[opaque vapor]

can you select the mesh and the deformer of the first picture? [are both rig in angle X?]

also a screenshot of the mesh in default position

[alpine dune]

is this what you meant?

sorry again -n- i j ust started learning an hour ago so idk much -3-

[opaque vapor]

ok, part of why things are moving weird is because you used automesh
so the mesh is not symetrical so the result when mirror reflecting may be fery diferent
then, you are also using glue, so you would need to take a picture of how that glue is balanced too

[alpine dune]

uhmmm ;-; im not sure how to -n- the face moves left and right perfectly fine, but its when i tried to mirror the deformers, thats when it went bad XD

[opaque vapor]

question

what you mean the face moves perfectly fine left and right?

[opaque vapor]

are you following a tutorial?

[alpine dune]

It moves left and right but i used deformer point to adjust some parts

yeah -n- idek how i went wrong XD

[opaque vapor]

ok can you take the picture of left and right again, selecting Both
mesh and deformer

you say you ONLY reflected mirror the deformer and everything went crazy? you did not reflected the mesh

[alpine dune]

as far as im aware i didnt ;-;

are these the right pics?

[opaque vapor]

ok you are selecting he mesh

i need to see the warp deformer

both mesh and warp deformer

the warp deformer is the thing with a green square icon

[alpine dune]

this??

[opaque vapor]

yes, that is the deformer

This is what you said you mirror reflected

[alpine dune]

yup

[opaque vapor]

btw dont cut the screenshots so we can see it completly

[alpine dune]

ohhh ok ok one sec

this betterr??

[opaque vapor]

ok, can you take a video with obs showing how you mirror motion

[alpine dune]

yeah one sec

[round portal]

⚠️ Please reupload your video in MP4 format. Make it easier for people to play it!

[alpine dune]

ok one min-

[opaque vapor]

ok just to point
you are mirror reflecting the mesh, not the deformer

[alpine dune]

;-;

[opaque vapor]

i made the point because you may be confused what is what

[alpine dune]

yes, yes it seems i am @-@

[opaque vapor]

even when you are using a deforming path
you are editing the mesh directly, so that count as mesh

when we talk about deformers, we mainly refer to Warp deformers [the thing with the green icon] or the rotation deformer [the one with a red icon]

did you got any message when you clicked the mirror motion?

[alpine dune]

yes lemme get a pic of it

[opaque vapor]

ok, this is very important

this message is telling you that you are reflecting an object that is a child of another one, and that both are rig on the same parameter

everytime you want to mirror motion a child that is also rig on the same parameter than a parent, you should select both and reflect boths

[in case you need
in parent and child hierarchy
when object A is inside object B
Object A is child
Object B is Parent

now, again, you have this issue too
Your mesh is not symetrical [what this means? that your mesh is not the same on one side and the other side] this means that when you mirror motion, this will not be symetrical neither
this happened because you used automeshing

[alpine dune]

i see- i kinda understand the hierarchy thing but with the auto mesh the person in the tutorial used it and was able to do everything fine which is why i got confused there not having a problem but i am -n-

[opaque vapor]

can you show me your video in the minute you are?

something i am curious is why you have glue but are editing both pieces too

[alpine dune]

yeah one secc

[opaque vapor]

can you take a screenshot of how your face Mesh and deformer looks on default

try to mirror reflect selecting the 3 things

[alpine dune]

yeah one sec

i tried to mirror using the 3 but it done the same thing as shown before -n-

[opaque vapor]

btw, i may note something

in your tutorial video, they did the mesh manually, not automesh

but they didnt showed it

this is the automesh they show

a minute after, without context, this is the mesh they are working with

this is a manually made mesh

[alpine dune]

oh-

[opaque vapor]

you can see the left and right part of the mesh is symetrical and is not full of the super perfect triangles in the middle

[alpine dune]

yh ;-;

[opaque vapor]

i dont know why they did it without saying it but, i guess they assumed people would notice

[alpine dune]

so- should i start again? ;-;

[opaque vapor]

that could be the reason why yours is doing weird things [[also notice, you have the 4 square dots too, those you dont need them

[alpine dune]

i see, alright well, thank you for the help! i really appreciate it! -u- ill give it another try and see how it goes ig! hehehe
