Lecture 24: Merging vertices in Blender: Periscope

[Anim_Ator]

The periscope object initially had 28 vertices. First, I tried to merge vertices by selecting them individually in the Edit Mode by selecting the Vertex Select tool. The minimum I could get was 14 vertices.

Later, as shown in the video, selecting the entire model and then setting distance to 0.00001 to Remove Doubles reduced it down to 12 vertices.

Missed 2 vertices!

Just wanted to share that there was another way to solve the challenge and get it to 6 faces and 8 verts.

Hope this video is helpful to you.

Thanks for sharing. That was awesome!
