gads those are awfully dense meshes, but have you tried Mesh>Combine?

You will then have to sew up the edges.

Merging the vertices after the combine will make it into a seamless mesh.

that is what I meant by "you will need to sew the edges..." == merge the verts of the two combined meshes.

i don't think it will take that long. I reckon you could have done it in the time it takes you figure out that plugin.

also, why do people still use imageshack? am i the only one that gets pop-ups every time i go to that site?

I know, I was replying to his "but i want it to be so called seamless" post.

Why is this model so heavy? Usually you smooth AFTER you merge everything together. If you really want to use mesh mixer, it's probably crashing because the model isn't water-tight. It can't have any open holes such as the neck.
