I am trying to paint on my bitmap using the Brush Tool in the BP - 3D Paint layout. I am trying to find a way to symmetrize my paint tool, but no luck.

Hi openmindedcomedy,

That is not a native option in BodyPaint 3D. For now, it would require a specific UV mesh.
Example:
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/8GJ1qt3o3DgPAU3It2jaTKYkatgi7srfZZZ6QQ4Ezho

If you work with layers, that content can be copied and flipped. But certainly not as comfortable as clicking an axis pair as symmetry and paint.

I saw a plug-in, but I have no idea how it would work with a none symmetrical UV.

Perhaps submit a suggestion:

Sorry to have not a better answer for you.

All the best

You’re very welcome, openmindedcomedy.

I wish I had access to every single available plug-in, then I could tell you what I think about
https://www.plugins4d.com/4dpaint

But I don’t have this one, and with many hundreds of plug-ins available, any reasonable budget would be emptied instantly. wink

My best wishes
