Hello I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on how to do a thing in blender

I created a human head model in FaceBuilder add on and I have a separate premade human body model. I positioned, scaled and joined them together, but there are some small gaps between the two models

What’s the best way to fix this? Any tools or tips to get me moving in the right direction would be amazing

I’ve been researching the docs, YouTube, chatgpt but getting confused at all the different ways to do things and the different versions of the program.

I’m using blender 3.5

Thanks!!!

    Hey! So I’m just getting around to diving back into this. I want to follow your advice and use less vertices. Do you have a method of reducing the vertices for pre-made models? (Fwiw The body is premade. The head was made in facebuilder blender add on.)

      Ah, reducing vertices of a pre-made model is a challenge. You can use the Decimate modifier and tinker around until you find something that works, but it will rarely be ideal.

      If you want to get a perfect topology you will have to do it manually. Look into methods of re-topology for this. It will pretty much be drawing faces over the existing mesh to create a brand new mesh. This requires a lot of time, effort, and experience with what a good topology looks like. I’d really recommend learning this at some point if you want to get better but it’s not an easy task. However, learning this will also allow you to learn to bake high resolution normals onto a lower resolution model, which is a really nice skill to have. Then your lower resolution model will be easy to work with and still look high quality!
