Hi folks, is it possible to mirror a prop hair in poser? Does anyone have any idea how to do it? Thanks in advance

One thing you can try is to set the x-scale of the prop to -100%. (Or if it's already scaled, set it to negative whatever the scale is. -120%, whatever.)
It will look weird in preview, but usually renders all right. You may have to force normals forward or check remove backfacing polys.
There's also this program from Dimension3d:

Content Mirror is a standalone program, so no worries about Python versions. It is Windows-only.
It's really easy to use, and the results are great. I mirror hair props a lot, and I think there was only one that didn't look right when mirrored with Content Mirror. It keeps the morphs and all. It will also mirror clothing.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Up to now I'd been manually reversing stuff but if this works as stated, it means I can get a load of model cars to look like British - and Japanese - versions, and make some left hooker guitar models for any southpaw players.

It does work on cars. This car a figure. I assume a prop would work as well.

Content Mirror is amazing - it even properly mirrors Weight Maps. I've been using it for forever, super recommended.

Heartily agreed.

It certainly works, and works well. Dimension3D was a sad loss... The only thing to watch out for is that textures will also be flipped left-right, although that can often be fixed in the material room. I imagine you'll want to make new licence plates anyway, to suit the appropriate national style.

Well, I just bought it and I'm seriously impressed. Thanks once again for the heads up, Randy.

I've had it in my Wishlist for a long time. After reading all the posts in this thread, it looks like it won't be there too much longer.

Here's one of Mask-Da's guitars converted to left hand. I had to mirror the logos and other bits of text but apart from that, no messing.

Quite so. I can now do pics of left handed players without having to mirror them. Well, except for Hendrix, who played a right handed Strat but strung for left hand. :D
I know left handed players aren't commonplace but I know at least four of 'em.
