[Answered] Blender models have visible seams

[Xyphos]

Using blender, I shaped a new intake that I wanted to use for a Mk3 spaceplane, after I got the shape the way I wanted it, I removed the duplicate faces, unwrapped it, applied the texture, duplicated the textured faces and now I'm stuck with visible seams. any help is appreciated.

if it's a seam in the UVs, add few pixels of bleed around the UV island; 3 to 6 pixels should be good. Setting the background color of the texture close to the main color of your color scheme can help in some cases as well.;

I've already blead the edges by 2 pixels, perhaps it's not enough, but I like your idea of adding a background layer, that just might actually work.

I've started getting into the habit of bleeding by 5+ pixels, and using a similar color as a background (often a similar brightness grey). I find there are many cases where fewer than 5 pixels just isn't quite enough.
