Chaos, I tried to reproduce the seam in Mike (after looking at the textures in a graphics program over the template). I could not get a seam using the default texture no matter how I posed or lighted. This looks like what happens when I use the Polyette character w/o blending the neck textures (Polyette is Warrior DL's Vicky/P4 composite). Could you possibly have 2 textures selected?? The MilMan texture blended quite nicely at the shoulder for me even in quite closeups--so now I don't know. I had a feeling that the head and body texture didn't blend well at the neck, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I just really looks as though there is an 'under' color to the body texture or that the body isn't the MilMan texture. Could you have the ambient color set differently?? BTW, if you got the Mike map, didn't you get an cr2/rsr that has this set up correctly with under body colors set already?? Other than these possibilities, I don't have a clue G.
