Flipping a Control Rig

[sndye]

I was wondering if there was a way for me to flip the left side of my control curves to the right while maintaining all the parents and attributes? Thank you.

I dont know about the parent but you can copy the attributes and stuffs using this plugin.

Hope it helps

This is a very helpful script, but it actually does not answer my question. I would like to know how to mirror these kinds of attributes to the other hand.

These things.

Thank you very much I appreciate the help.

[gautham.chandran47]

Oh.. you want to mirror the connections to the other side ?

[sndye]

Yes.

[sndye]

Ya. Is there a way?

[gautham.chandran47]

I don/t know, not in my knowledge, but with correct naming convention its possible, but I dont know if someone made a plugin like that yet.

[sndye]

Do you have any ideas on how I could do it? Or is there a way for me to copy multiple numbers at a time to minimize the work load? If not, I'll just do it the long way.

I again thank you for your help

My method is to create control rigs on one side and add all extra attributes and stuffs then mirror copy it to the other side. But have to do the connections and set driven keys for all.

Ok. But is there a way I can copy multiple values and paste them on another object?

Like say if I wanted to copy all of these values at the same time and paste them onto a different object, or do I have to do that one at a time.

haha , no.. there is a trick for that.

First select the new controller then "shift" select the old controller which has the values and go to the channel box and select the first attribute " Translate X" then just keep pressing "Tab" the value from that will be automatically transfer to the first controller.
