Why we like it

Fast Mirror earns its place in the superhive library as a stand-alone take on the Auto Mirror operator, giving Blender users mesh symmetry while keeping their add-on collection simple.

What is Fast Mirror?

Fast Mirror is a symmetry add-on for Blender from Blender Guppy. It splits the mesh and applies the mirror modifier based on user input, and it's a direct clone of the Auto Mirror operator from Random Flow and Creative Flow. It has been released as a stand-alone add-on for users who want to keep their add-on collection simple.

The add-on includes a graphical UI with visual representations of the points needed for the operation. You can reposition the real geometry side of the symmetry at any time, and select multiple objects to mirror them all in one go. It's coded to the present official version of Blender where possible, and lists compatibility from Blender 3.6 through 5.0.

Online documentation, a video tutorial and a changelog playlist are available on the developer's channels. The add-on is released under the GPL license, and all updates are noted as free.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Fast Mirror support?

Fast Mirror lists Blender version compatibility from 3.6 through 5.0, and it's marked as Blender Extension compatible. The developer also notes the add-on is always coded to the present official version of Blender when possible, so it aims to keep pace with current releases. If you're on a version within that range, it should load through the standard add-on system. For the state of any specific release, the developer's page and the YouTube changelog playlist are the places to check before installing.

How do I install Fast Mirror in Blender?

Fast Mirror installs through Blender's standard add-on system. Press F4 in the viewport and open Preferences, then the Add-ons section. Use the Install button and point it at the .py file that you've extracted from the zip downloaded from the store — the .py file specifically, not the zip itself. Once installed, enable the add-on, and you can find it by typing its name into the search bar. Online documentation is available on the developer's page if you need more detail.

Is Fast Mirror free and what license does it use?

Fast Mirror is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms, support details and any purchase options, the developer's page is the best place to confirm. Blender Guppy also notes that all updates are free. Online documentation and a video tutorial are available as well, so you can look over how the add-on works before committing time to setting it up.

How does Fast Mirror compare to Auto Mirror?

Fast Mirror is a direct clone of the Auto Mirror operator found in Random Flow and Creative Flow, released as a stand-alone add-on for users who prefer to keep their add-on collection simple. It splits the mesh and applies the mirror modifier based on your input, offers a graphical UI showing the points needed for the operation, lets you reposition the real geometry side of the symmetry at any time, and can mirror multiple selected objects in one go.
