is there a way to combine two msh together, i made two legs and want to combine to a body but don't know how to, I know in maya there is a combine tool, but I don't know in soft image? I know there is a merge option but when I do merge them the polys get messed up.

create> poly mesh > merge + drag slider to a small number or 0 if you want to weld edges by hand. You can weld edges in right click in edge mode.

oh thx can anyone link a tutorial on how to envelope an entire msh to a skeleton in order to put it in game. thx
