When using a Brush it is only doing one side at a time.

posted to: Brush Overview II

I noticed that in these videos you are working one side with a brush and it is mimicking it on the other side of the object. How do I do that? Mine is only doing one side a a time? I am using a KB and Mouse not a tablet and Pen.

    That's the "symmetry" setting in the Sculpt Mode toolbar. Go to the Symmetry/Lock section and enable the direction you wish to mirror your strokes. Usually X is used for "left and right" side of a character for example, but this assumes that you're building your character to be facing in the Y axis.

    With official Blender, this setting is on by default when entering Sculpt Mode. Sounds like you managed to turn it off at some point.
