This seems like an obvious question but I have been searching for hours. Someone please point me to a detailed tutorial or show me with pictures how to do this. Changing the x scale to -1 distorts the character images. Is there something I need to select that I'm not? Or something I have selected that I shouldn't? Thanks.
Flip character on X
Changing the x scale to -1 distorts the character images.
Does your skeleton have bones that disable Scale and Reflection inheritances? Normally when scale changes from positive to negative, the bone flips to point in the opposite direction. When Reflection is unchecked, the negative scale will not cause the bone to flip. It is possible to flip all of the bones with the Reflection inheritance disabled by scaling them individually, but if you would like to achieve flipping easily, it is better to enable Reflection.
