Maya 101 Combining and Merging Polygon Objects

Includes the following steps: Making sure objects are lined up correctly. Building the same amount of edges on each side of the connection point. Lining up vertices so that the objects LOOK as if they're already connected. Deleting history and freezing transforms on both objects. Combining the two objects. Merging vertices where the newly combined objects are meant to be seemlessly connected. Deleting history on the newly combined objects.
