..To properly mirror earrings, so that they end up the same on both sides? The helix piercing I'm working on, I vertex painted by entering the appropriate hex and choosing 'set vertex colours'. Trying to paint over it manually doesn't turn the remaining hoop green either. The two hoops are joined to the same mesh and pictured below showing vertex painting. I tried to vertex paint after combining them.  |

For the mirroring you can simply use a mirror modifier on the object in blender.  As for the vertex paint, be sure to be in solid view and not texture. Eventually select the Whole mesh in edit mode prior to use the set vertex colours. Should do it. |

Eventually select the Whole mesh in edit mode prior to use the set vertex colours. Should do it. As my picture shows, I am currently in solid shading (additionally, I had selected the mesh). For some reason the mirror modifier doesn't work for the earrings.. Maybe to do with the origin? |

can you please share your blend file? if you added the modifier on the earrings itself in either solid or texture mode, it should have done something. it doesn't matter where the origin is.

Hi! Can you please share the .blend file so someone can take a look?

Then use the selection mod in vertex paint mod to see if it applies the paint properly or not.  Activate it and then tap the "A" key to select all and try again to apply the paint. Be sure you don't have 2 separate objects as well and are trying to paint on the wrong one. If the mirror did nothing at all, you did something wrong (like not applying it on the correct object). If it did something but the mirroring doesn't work properly then it is most likely that the origin of your object is not located at the coordinates 0/0/0 |

I'm still not sure what was going on with the vertex painting, but it's worked now |

glad you figured it out!  i was thinking the mirror itself wasn't working, not that the origin itself wasn't. |
