How useful is this really?! or am I getting my leg pulled?

In the context of symmetry, I guess, fuck if I know

Are you are just slightly retarded and lack intelligence?
Think about it for a while...if an object is symmetrical over one or 2 axis, would you rather model each side accurately and exactly so that they'll look identical or do you think its much easier to just work on one side and then mirror the end result?

Don't even bro, just hide the blendlet brainrot posting so it can fall off the board quicker

You're right. I shouldn't.

really useful to save on UV space.

If you're able to get away with it, it's nice because it will save tons of UV space.

I don't use blender, but in such a case you would make use of the radial symmetry by using an array modifier and only modeling a single element, no?

On anything with 2 axes of symmetry, I always just do 1/4 of it.
It's 1/4th the work, and less geo to fuck around with. The less geometry you have to push around the better. You want to get as close to your perfect shape as possible with as little geometry as possible. Not because something has to be low poly, but simply for the fact that it makes the entire process of modelling and unwrapping that much simpler.
So doing only 1/4 of it is good.
Once I'm happy with the shape, I'll put on just half symmetry and add some variation, then finally asymmetrical details with mirror off.

Don't worry I did it on purpose just for shits n giggles, I put it back after taking the screenshot
