Visible seam in Anatomical Elements texture (problem cured!)

edited April 2018 in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

The 'anatomical elements' are (is?) from Renderotica, the skin texture from https://www.daz3d.com/p3d-chandra-hd-for-victoria-7. Each works fine otherwise, but together they produce a visible seam around the area in question (see attached render). I've tried various texture adjustments, but can't get rid of the seam.

If anyone has a suggestion--or better yet, has noticed the same problem and found a cure for it--I'd be interested to know.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. The cover-up is from https://www.daz3d.com/alphakini-bundle, so it should be sufficiently modest for these forums.wink

    I would use the Healing Brush or Spot Healing Brush tool in Photoshp.  That might not be what you are looking for though. Without being able to play with the model(s), I wouldn't know.

    I would use DAZ 3D's anatomical elements from the G8F / G8M Pro Bundles & then buy one Mal3Media G8F product and one G8M product, which, I understand, have added morphs.

    Different sets of anatomical elements will have different UVs, characters in the Daz store will use the UVs for the Daz model.

    This particular set includes a script to check for UV compatibility: if the UVs are incompatible, the A.E.s simply won't install. The Chandra textures are the first I've found to show a seam at the body/A.E. junction.

    Looks as if I'll have to use the Daz elements if I want the character to be anatomically correct.

    NGV7? Have you tried copying the G3F torso surface and pasting it on the genital's torso surface?

    I personally use a different product that uses geometry shell from that store and that one is better.

    NGV7 it is. It's worked fine on every character I've applied it to (including G8F) provided the UVs were compatible. When they are compatible, the install script is supposed to apply the torso texture automatically, and usually does.

    But I tried your copy/paste suggestion just now and by Golly, it got rid of the seam! Thanks for the tip!
