**Using Maya 2012

I have a rigged character model that I’m using. I made a side step animation moving
to the left and was wondering if anyone knew how to mirror the character and animation
to make the character side step and move to the right w/o having to manually input all
the animations again.

Thanks

tbh its completely dependant on the setup of the rig your using, which is why theres no generic mirror rig script that will work on all rigs, too much variation.
You can try copying the keyframes in the timeline from one side directly to the other, my rigs are setup in fk to allow this, ik wont usually work the same way though.
