How do I extrude a face to a single vertex












1












$begingroup$


I am new to blender so I am trying to learn the basics so bear with me while I try to explain this. I am trying to extrude a face to a single point to make a spikey-looking shape and I only seem to be able to extrude the face outwards keeping the face the same size but I actually want the face to extrude to a point or vertex.

          One way is to use Vertices > Merge (or Alt+M) > Collapse to turn multiple selected faces into multiple vertices:



          enter image description here




          Collapse



          Every island of selected vertices (connected by selected edges) will merge on its own median center, leaving one vertex per island.

            $begingroup$

            you can extrude the faces and then scale them, you can change your pivot point to individual origin so that you scale the faces individually.

                              1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
