Take a Look at This Tool for Streamlining Vertex Merging in Maya
PolyMate | Merge is a plug-in that enhances the process and reduces manual work.
ARRISE STUDIO has released PolyMate | Merge, a plug-in for Maya that redesigns the software's standard vertex merge workflow and streamlines the process, making it easier and faster.
Merging is a minor task, but it is the one that artists repeat constantly, and it can quickly become a tedious routine. The plug-in reduces the time of each merge, sparing modelers of repetitive tasks. PolyMate | Merge has three selectable merge modes. The tool features an intuitive viewport merging via Quick Mode and an auto-unpin feature specifically for merged vertices, which allows for accelerating the speed of LOD creation and game asset optimization.
The tool also has a proprietary UV preservation algorithm that minimizes the "UV shifting," saving the artists from manual corrections. Preflight (proactive detection), auto-rollback, and session management work together to minimize the risk of tool-induced crashes or data corruption.
