Hi!
Yes, the idea is that no matter what the resolution, your always affecting the mesh! A great feature when you want to do tons of details and don't want to bog down the system in High-Res. of course this is also dependent on your computer specs, but it's nice. To answer your other question, we did have a merge tool along time ago, but the results could be very ugly considering the is is a very tough algorithm to get right. Lastly, thank you! for supporting us!
