This mesh was extracted from another mesh, manipulated, rotated, rerotated back to symmetry. In its long history, it has lost it’s symmetry map. I tried to symmetrize it using the sym and smart resym to achieve best symmetry, however… I still can’t seem to use posable symmetry. Now, this is not the first time I encounter this issue, and I can’t seem to fix it everytime I find a mesh/subtool that wouldn’t play nice with posable symmetry.
Any ideas?
Yeah it would be nice if there was a way to manually tell the software how to find the symmetry again - like pick two corresponding edges and click Find Symmetry. I don’t believe ZBrush has this feature though.
well. your mesh isn’t actually symmetrical. That’s why it can’t find poseable sym.
This version will work. I didn’t really care about importing, or exporting stuff though. The scale is totally different than yours and the point order is changed.
Hi,
Thanks goast666, you fix’d it! ^^ Awesome!
How did you do it?
I just imported your object into XSI.
Centered its pivot point.
deleted half of it
aligned the points that should have been the center along the appropriate axis.
then made it actually symmetrical (duplication and mirror)
then exported out the new version.
Oh, ok, I got it!
Thanks ^^

Headus can find symmetry on posed geometry as long as its symmetrical topologically. The tech is out there.
