Mirror and instance script or command

Post by bibendumchamalow »

Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is a way to work in instance and in symmetry like Blender or Maya under Moho 13.5.1

Thanks in advance. :D

I found this video but could not get the script.
Too old perhaps?

Wow! Blast from MY past. :D

I will track down that script and see if I can get it working and uploaded for 13.5. I did like it when I used it but it was a bit "wonky". It needs some tweaking.
I feel bad because there are a bunch of my scripts that have "poofed" into the ether of lost websites and uploads that I need to put up again somewhere more reliable.

I still have the website Animestudioscripting.com and will probably start putting my stuff there.

Thank you very much gentlemen, this tool is extremely important for me in the development of decorative objects or even characters.
It saves a lot of time in a production.
Thank you again a thousand times ;-)

Merci beaucoup. :mrgreen:

Hello, I tested the tool, but it looks like the script is not really the same. :?
Dr Miror is good, he allows the creation of a symmetry. However, the tool I am looking for allows you to work in mirror directly on the translation of vector points.
If you have any information on this subject, I am interested. Thank you for your answers. :D

Yes thank you, I will be patient.
It is true that this kind of tool is extremely practical.
Having it on 13.5 would be fantastic. :wink:

That script was created quite some time ago. Once I track it down on my backups I will know which version I created it for. It should work in v11. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for answering me, it's very nice. Such a tool would be a kind of holy grail for me and for many users. A tool that would undoubtedly be unmisable. :wink:

I tested this in a copy of v11 for mac I was able to get running. I hope it will work for you. I didn't do much to it, just made changes based on naming of the scripts and updating the instructions. I didn't modify it to work with v13.5 but crazy enough it actually DOES WORK PERFECTLY in 13.5. There is a lot of work needed on it. You can only edit 1 point at a time (2 if you count the mirrored point). And the translation of those two selected points is annoying but it does work as intended.

I plan to update the original post, maybe start a new one for it later.

It does contain an "extra" icon. It's that "2x" version. I don't know if v11 will choke on it or not.

p.s. I still need to update this site with new logos etc.

Hello Heyvern
Thanks for what you sent.
I tested the script on 13.5.1, unfortunately for me it doesn't seem to work.
It displays "no label" and nothing happens when I click on the script pictogram.
However by doing some research to find a solution, I found this onion skin trick that works well.

While waiting for an update I will go through this trick.

You said it works in 13.5, do you think switching to 13.5.1 is a problem?

Thx a lot.

it could be how or where you installed it.

the whole thing unzipped into the tools folder of scripts/tools in custom content folder. i didn’t test with 13.51 but should work.

the “no label” sounds like a missing icon or image from the zip.

in addition it only works on a vector layer with points.

i will check it again when i am home make sure uploaded correct version

Okay yes it was not working for some reason in 13.5.1. I must have uploaded the wrong version or changed the file names without changing one of the variables.

The current version download is working now. I downloaded and installed it again from scratch and it is working.
