Im creating my armature at the moment, and have come across a problem- my mesh is perfectly mirrored, yet when I use extrude create bones for the arms, the bones go out of sync, ie they are running through the middle finger on the left side, but half way out of the middle finger on the right.
doesn any body else have a problem with this?
anyway so now I am trying the mirror bone option, so I select the arm chain on the left hand side, shift D to duplicate, Ctrl M + X to mirror along the x axis, but instead of mirroring it across the x=0 axis, it creates a mirror image, but keeps the whole thing on the left had side of the rig, on top of the other arm chain- so both arm chains are on the left hand side.
How do I get it to position the mirrored arm chain on the right hand side
