Build mirrored BO2 crests, masks, and animal heads around a stable center line.
8 minute BO2 tutorial - Updated July 2026
Lock the center first
Begin with a center spike, nose, visor, or shield axis. Use Center X in the online editor so every later pair has a reliable reference.
Finish one side
Place all important left-side shapes before mirroring them. Match their spacing and repeated angles instead of adjusting both sides independently.
Mirror and align
Use Mirror copy to create the opposite side, then watch for the cyan Smart Snap center guide. The outside tips should be the same distance from the middle.
Recreate the pair in BO2
In the game, duplicate a compatible shape when possible, flip or rotate it, and compare both sides at a small size. Correct large spacing errors before adding eye or highlight details.
Practical example
Iron Mask is a strict symmetry test because shell, visor, and jaw pairs surround a narrow center bridge. Build and position one side, note its distance from the center, then mirror the visual weight rather than relying only on the outer bounding box.
Symmetry does not require identical polygon points when the in-game shape library differs from the web reference. Match the visible tip height, inside gap, and distance from the nose bridge. Those three comparisons matter more than hidden coordinates.
Before you finish
The center feature is placed before paired details.
Iron Mask treats a helmet as a ceremonial emblem rather than a realistic face. Ivory armor plates create the identity, muted gold marks rank and hardware, and the black visor supplies a controlled expression.
A gold outer helmet contains mirrored shell, eye, and jaw pairs. The crown plate and nose bridge divide the face vertically, while the chin plate closes the stack with a narrow termination.
Ivory should remain the largest bright area. Gold works best as a frame and center accent, while near-black belongs only in the visor so the eyes stay severe and readable.
Try this variation: Change gold to steel blue for a colder armored look.
Signal Wolf reduces a wolf head to ears, cheek planes, eyes, and a pointed muzzle. Cyan stripes suggest electronic tracking signals without turning the animal into a detailed illustration.
The charcoal silhouette supplies ears and jaw width. Pale mirrored face plates form the cheeks, cyan stripes pull the eye toward the center, and the muzzle, nose, and chin complete a descending diamond rhythm.
Charcoal defines fur mass, off-white creates facial planes, and cyan is reserved for ears, signal stripes, eyes, and the final chin. Too much cyan will flatten the face.
Try this variation: Use amber signals for a warmer scout identity.
Polar Shield is an ice-blue defensive crest with a split upper peak. It uses broad frozen plates and a pale inner shard rather than snowflakes or detailed ice texture.
A dark shield contains two blue side plates, a compact center body, and a pale split shard. The lower point and upper split create a vertical defensive spear.
Ice blue belongs on the armor, charcoal creates depth, and pale gray suggests the coldest surface. Avoid several similar blues that merge at thumbnail size.
Try this variation: Use white and gray only for a frozen monochrome version.
