Do you have to have mirror vertex group in Blender?
The mirror side vertex group must already exist (it will not be created automatically). It must also be completely empty (no vertices assigned to it). Mirror the texture coordinates around each tile center.
Can a vertex move away from the mirror plane?
But as soon as the vertices are within Merge Distance they are snapped together and cannot be moved beyond the mirror plane. Vertices on the mirror plane will be unable to move away from the mirror plane as long as Clipping is enabled.
Is there a way to edit the vertex group?
This icon indicates that the vertex group can be edited. You can add vertex assignments to the group or remove assignments from the group. And you can change it with the weight paint brushes, etc. When you click on the icon, it changes to a closed padlock icon and all vertex group modifications get disabled.
Is there a way to remove vertex assignments?
You can add vertex assignments to the group or remove assignments from the group. And you can change it with the weight paint brushes, etc. When you click on the icon, it changes to a closed padlock icon and all vertex group modifications get disabled. You can only rename or delete the group, and unlock it again.
Which is the axis along which to mirror?
The X, Y, Z axis along which to mirror, i.e. the axis perpendicular to the mirror plane of symmetry. To understand how the axis applies to the mirror direction, if you were to mirror on the X axis, the positive X values of the original mesh would become the negative X values on the mirrored side.
How to mirror the UV coordinates of an image?
The Flip U and Flip V options allows you to mirror the UV texture coordinates across the middle of the image. E.g. if you have a vertex with UV coordinates of (0.3, 0.9), its mirror copy will have UV coordinates of (0.7, 0.1).
