The Mirror modifier
The Mirror modifier is incredibly useful because you’ll often want to create symmetrical 3D models.
Without the Mirror modifier, you’d have to try to make your 3D model symmetrical by hand, constantly trying to keep it the same on both sides. That would be difficult and error-prone. It would take a long time to finish your model.
With the Mirror modifier, you don’t have to do any of that. You simply build half of your model, and the Mirror modifier copies it to create the other half of the model. This keeps it perfectly symmetrical.
This modifier is used for all sorts of awesome things—almost anything symmetrical can be created with a Mirror modifier, such as a full character or a battle vehicle.
The Mirror modifier is simple to use. You’ll understand it best if you build an example project, so let’s put together a simple chair.
