In this tutorial, we'll be learning how to duplicate and mirror an object in Blender. Blender is a powerful 3D modeling and animation tool that can be used for a variety of different purposes. One of its most useful features is its ability to duplicate and mirror objects. This can be extremely helpful when you're trying to create a symmetrical object or scene.
To mirror an object in Blender, select the object you want to mirror and then go to the Modifiers tab. Add a Mirror modifier to the object and then select the axis you want to mirror it on. In this case, we'll be mirroring on the X-axis. Now, when you move the object, you'll notice that it's being duplicated on the other side of the mirror.
If you want to make the two sides of the mirror identical, you can add a Subsurf modifier to the object. This will smooth out the mesh and make the two sides identical.
And that's all there is to duplicating and mirroring an object in Blender!
