Sculpt Mirroring Tool

We've been trying out a lot of script driven tools that allow for the mirroring of sculpts or blend shapes.  Lots are broken, or are pretty confusing. This one is pretty simple and works great.

Here is the Python Script - Credit goes to Seamus O'Hearn on Creative Crash.

1. Put the .py script in your documents/maya/scripts folder
2. Put
import MirrorBlends
reload (MirrorBlends)
MirrorBlends.gui()
into the script editor in a python tab.
3. That should pull up the GUI. For convenience, simply make the command
MirrorBlends.gui()
Into a shelf button. This way you have easy access, and the GUI is really easy to follow.
4. This only works if the Blendshape mesh you are trying to mirror is NOT already a Blendshape of your original mesh.  As long as it is a plain mesh, it should zip right along and save a TON of time.
