ZBrush: Mirroring Geometry?

Spacey

I'm playing around in ZBrush and I hide most of my model to work on the left arm. When I unhide everything I find the other arm hasn't updated with the left one even though I had X Symmetry on.

Is there a way to mirror the geometry over so the arms match?
Also is there a button I can push or workflow I can follow so the geometry updates when it's hidden?



I will tackle this beast known as ZBrush!

did you try to recenter the pivot?

mask off the side you want to pull the detail from (it should be the 'blacked off' part' then go to too>deformation>smart resymmetry

Yep, what Tinman said, also make sure you have the pivot recentred in the model (Shift-P) before running Smart Resym otherwise you'll find the mirroring goes all screwy.

Huzzah!! Thanks guys!

Also make sure you have the model rotated the right way. I had a model that was produced with multimarkers and it rotated the final model, meaning to work on the 'left' and have that mirrored on the 'right' I had to turn on 'z' symmetry. Smart resym will mirror along x. If you press x and the icon shows front and back of the model, go to the preview window (in Tools if I remember correctly) and rotate it there.

Lupus, actually you can make Smart Resym mirror along X, Y or Z axis, look for the little dark box to the right of the button with tiny X Y Z text, you can click those on or off to highlight them. It's just that X is the default.

Ah ok, cheers, never saw that hehe.
