Disjointed Polygons #126

Hello All, Im trying to reduce the poly count of this mesh but when I do the part is very disjointed and the polygons are not connected. I was hoping someone could help, Im using MAYA for my modeling and exporting it as an OBJ for Instant meshes.

Thanks Everyone, G

Most likely you need to improve the original mesh. Instant Meshes doesn't fix problems with geometry, if you have things like duplicate edges, disjoint faces etc. IM will generate split groups. My suggestion would be to try using e.g. Merge by Distance in Blender first and all the other common & simple geometry fixing techniques (remove degenerates, fill holes etc.) and only then try to apply IM.
