[Forum Rules]   Back to Forum Thread List Assassin   Posted 9th Aug 2005 12:55pm L4Y Member Post 15 / 79 Is it possible to mirror a brush. Basicly flip the brush but in a mirrored state. I would just flip the brush but its got some detail in it thats not the same on each of the sides. I did a search looking for key words "mirror brushes" "mirror" "flip brush" and came up with nothing. I hope its possible. Im dreading the fact I might have to create the same exact brushes mirrored.

What about copy and pasting the brush and manipulating it in vertex mode to mirror the other brush? I have been in the same boat before, and it's just a case of planning. If you knew you wanted 2 of these brushes then it woulda been a damn site easier to construct them simulataneously. That's obviously not gonna help you now but i fear you may just have to repeat the process.

And your right, I didnt plan on making the same brushes mirrored untill after I was finished. My only choice it to vertex it which aint all that bad but still a pain in the bootay, just takes a lot of patiants and a sharp eye. Again, thinks for the help mad Give respect, you get respect.     mad_ferrit   Posted 9th Aug 2005 3:32pm L4Y Member Post 743 / 1510 Keeping to as big a grid size as possible when you're making stuff like this will help you no end. If you can limit movements to a maximum of 0.25 RF metres then you're not having to fiddle around as much... Tip Press Q to lock selected brushes, (Shift+Q to unlock) or Hide with H; (Shift+H to unhide) all of the brushes on the map apart from the ones you want to modify will help you enourmously as only the vertices on the active brush(es) will show up, meaning that you wont accidentally be moving vertices on any other brushes when you're modifying them ...but I'm sure you already knew that MY RF MAPS     Assassin   Posted 9th Aug 2005 10:41pm L4Y Member Post 18 / 79 SWEET! I didnt know about that trick. It dose become a pain when you have vertexs all around the point you want to move or click. With your tip, map making for me just got easier. Thanks mad! Im still pretty much novice at knowing the tools in RED. Give respect, you get respect.     mad_ferrit   Posted 10th Aug 2005 1:00am L4Y Member Post 746 / 1510 It is one of the most useful things to be able to do... without it i could not be arsed mapping... I live in vertex and face mode when I'm in RED, vertexing a complicated map with all vertices in view is just a fricking nightmare. Use it for texturing, or anything MY RF MAPS
