How can I get mirrored vector(point) by Plane by using blender python modules?
Plane will be defined as
I need to know function like
def get_mirrored_vector(point, plane_position, plane_normal):
Do Something
return mirrored_point
actually, It sounds more of mathematical problem but I thought there might be existing function on mathutils or other blender modules
You can use mathutils.geometry.intersect_line_plane to project the point onto the plane. This can be done by intersecting the line defined by the point and the point offset by the plane's normal vector with the plane:
proj = intersect_line_plane(point, point + plane_normal, plane_position, plane_normal)
Once you have the projected point you can use the vector from the original point to the projection to get the mirrored point.
from mathutils.geometry import intersect_line_plane
def get_mirrored_vector(point, plane_position, plane_normal):
proj = intersect_line_plane(point, point + plane_normal, plane_position, plane_normal)
mirrored_point = 2 * proj - point
return mirrored_point
