What I usually do in Wings is split the mesh along the x-axis (there's an edge loop in the middle specifically for that) and throw away one half. Wings has a virtual mirror feature, so although I'm only working on half a mesh, it looks as if everything I do on one side was automatically applied to the other. When I'm done, I just export as an obj and Wings creates the full mesh before it writes the geometry out. The problem is that the vertex order gets messed up that way, so I have to send the obj file through my vertex order fixing program.

Modeling software that lets you edit the full mesh symmetrically is definitely easier.

At the moment, I have Scala code to do the following things to a mesh:

• flip along the x-axis
• symmetrize along the x-axis by taking the average of the original and the flipped mesh (added that today)
• apply a morph with a possibly messed up vertex order to a base mesh
• the same, but transferring the morph from low-res to high-res or vice versa (although the later will only work for relatively smooth morphs)

I could easily write code to flip a morph and add both sides together. That would make a symmetrical morph from a left or right one created by morph splitting in Poser.

If anyone's interested, I can package all that stuff together in a jar file that you should be able to run by double-clicking if you have a correctly installed, relatively recent Java (at least on Windows; on a Mac you might also need to sacrifice half your lunch to your favorite pagan deity). I might even provide a quick-and-dirty GUI if you ask really nicely. :laugh:
