Question is there a plugin that can move limbs symmetrically?

[Mm3]

hi, im searching for a plugin that can make limbs like hand and legs move symmetrically.

what i mean is that if for example i move the right hand to the right the left hand will also move but to the opposite direction and the same goes for rotation.

can anyone tell me if such a plugin exists? it would be a life changer for characters posing!

Do you mean in real-time? If so, I looked a awhile ago and couldn't find any. In the end I tried working on my own plugin for just mirroring hand movement but couldn't figure out a way that wasn't janky.

If you're just mirroring poses there are some plugins by ky1001 for that.

thanks for replying, you mean this one (Pose L-R Swap) right? i do know of it but that's not what i need.
"Do you mean in real-time?" yes but i understand that there isn't one, can i maybe make a plugin request? is it possible in this site?

This has the option to do it. you'll have to just turn on the "toggle symmetry" before you manipulate the joints.

It looks like the plugin murn mentioned does what you want. I was just thinking it would be nice if it could be done while grabbing or possessing though.

Interesting you should ask...

I'm actually thinking about this issue, which likely exists in the plugin I just released. If you are grabbing one of the limbs, and the plugin is triggered, it will likely "unparent" the grabbed controller...

... if that's an issue, I can come back to it, as it's something I want to tackle in a plugin I'm still working on as well.

Not sure what you mean but your plugin looks interesting!

This one? I posted earlier thinking it would be listed by the time anyone got back to this thread

Oh, I see. Not quite what I was thinking of. I look forward to seeing that updated version though!

Example attached.

Ah, yeah, that's symmetrical. The explanation of the OP's first message threw me off (easy to do with binary contexts). My first thought is "that exists", and then I misread and think I've seen a false dichotomy.

I'm working with asymmetrical movements. Saw another post referencing 'live' asymmetrical swaps, and thought I was seeing a lot of crossover - you know, like when you start driving a different car, and suddenly you start seeing the same one around more often.

Anyway, I failed to find what I was looking for, so had to make it.
