Painting Texture Seams.

[Calabi]

Stupid question but how do you do this in 3DCoat. I know you would use the clone brush, but that wont quite work as the colours arent the same. I want to blend the colours. So I tried the lighten darken brush but that does not seem to work. I just end up with black.

So how do people go about fixing seams?

Here's the problem.

I don't think there's any particular easy 'procedure' to use here. Looks like you might need to use your artistic eye and talent in this circumstance.

When I need to paint seams out I just use the regular brushes to block out with feathered colour where the seam is, to closely match the colours on each side then go back in with some mottled, subtle brushes to get the detail back in.

Make sure you keep all your paintover on separate layers in case you make a real mess and have to go back.

p.s. this highlights a bug I noticed with the Blur tool ages ago.. on separate layers it will darken instead of blur the colours that are present. Andrew might want to take a look at this.

Thanks ghip. I didnt think there'd be any easy way, was just confused with how some of the tools worked, and how other people went about it.

I have a severe lack of talent in the artistic side but will do me best. Paint and colour pick, then clone the pattern overlay is that what your saying.
