This is a quick submission but a long overdue one too long have new users been asking how to do radial symmetry only to be given sometimes no answer at all , sometimes only given a destructive method ... or sometimes one that will deform the mesh. this is what inspired the creation of this short tutorial that covers how to do radial symmetry using the spin tool , how to use a bezier curve and an array modifier to do a warped radial symmetry, and finally and most impotently how to create a simple rig to do true nondestructive radial symmetry . it is well past time we stopped confusing new and sometimes even intermediate bender users on this topic, link to the tutorial below :
