Hiding Texture Seams In Maya

[southern-boy]

Hellooo all. I have a simple question. I was wondering how to hide my texture seams on my model, so they don't show up when I render. If anyone could tell you me a couple of ways that would be awesome!!! I have the uvs layed out and the texture is done, just need to get rid of these freaken seams!!

Thanks everyone!!

I guess 3DPaint tool would help to paint those seams, but in general Maya is not so good at this area, so You may wish to use Bodypaint3D or something else 3d-party-kind/standalone.
and basically it depends on what kind of texture You want to un-seam.. You could project a piece of texture on whole mesh and then erase unneccessary areas and smoothly blend with original in Photoshop. solution could change from case to case.

Partly because this is teh texturers design problem not mayas. Buty yeah if you collapse projections be sure to dialate your textures a bit to unmapped areas for those higher pyramid lookups.
