blender equivalent to max weld tool

#1

im trying to complete the joan of arc modeling tutorial for max, however in serveral instance through the guide i need to weld or merge faces. how can i do this in blender without making a mess of my model

#2

Use Alt+M (merge) and click “centre” to weld two vertices to a point equidistant from both.

#3

that didnt work, it changes the vertex alignment. see the image

#4

Blender doesn’t yet support Ngons so it doesn’t possible, once Bmesh has replaced the current editmesh system then it’ll be possible, until then, well it’s not possible.

#5

sigh thanks, trying a work around. a lot more work but i hope it gives the result im hoping for

#6

The image… it’s the Joana D’arc tutorial?

You don’t need to close that region. Go with the extrudes and leave the faces as a hole until the wrists. It’s the same for the neck.
