Applying Accessories to Opposite Limbs

Hello everyone,

Is there an easy way to apply for example an 'Arm Band' that is ment for the lower left arm only and apply it to the lower right arm?

I have many products now that I want to use specific Accessories and apply them to the opposite side of the Figure...I have one product that lets me do this by suppling versions for left and right arms which is fantastic.

Just a friendly suggestion to vendors, maybe include a mirror of your Arms / Shoulders / Legs Accessories and Waredrobe so it can be utilised for both sides of the Figure.wink.. as this is generally one of many things that I look for when purchasing Products and leads to the product be used multiple times (personal opinion and preference only)

...although it's probably easy of me to suggest this, but harder to implementblush

  • props are easy - if they are symmetrical unparent them, with the figure in the base pose, then revese the sign on the x translation and the y and z rotations, then parent to the matching part of the figure.

    As for Smart Prop Accessories, there're different cases:
    1) Smart Prop with Transforms: Select the Prop, Shift + Y, use the settings in SS1 ~ 2.
    2) Smart Prop with no Transforms: manually manipulate it to the right....SS3

    As for rigged Accessories (figures):
    1) Easiest and straight-forward way: use Mirror Geometry from Esha and RiverSoft Art (supports G3 - G9)  https://www.daz3d.com/mirror-geometry-for-genesis-9
    2) A bit complex way but free: mirror the figure in DS (by set negative value on X Scale) . Export / Import OBJ and rig it on the figure.
