Mirror

Updated: 3 Feb 2025

Generates a mirror cut through a mesh
Example .dfx

Method #

This node mirrors geometry from one side, and combines the output. UVs are maintained (although cut along the mirror plane), so using the mesh with the materials will result in mirrored materials too.

This deformer generates new polygons - so using it with meshes with high polygon counts may substantially impact performance. Proceed with caution.

Parameters

These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.

ParameterDetails
Position XThe objects position along the local x-axis.
Position YThe objects position along the local y-axis.
Position ZThe objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation HeadingThe objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation PitchThe objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation BankThe objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale XThe objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale YThe objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale ZThe objects scale along the local z-axis.

Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.

ParameterDetails
PositionToggle inheritance of the Position from the parent.
RotationToggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent.
ScaleToggle inheritance of the Scale from the parent.
World Position OnlyInherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit TimeToggle inheritance of time from the parent.

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

ParameterDetails
Seam SmoothingControls how the normals are blended across the mirror plane.
  • Smooth : Normals are smoothed on the mirror plane, leaving a smooth edge across the mirror.
  • Hard : Normals are hardened on the mirror plane, leaving a hard cut between the object and the mirrored geometry.
