Your black seam is caused by a lack of edge padding on your texture.

That's extremely unsettling. I don't know the first thing about skinning, but I know you're doing it wrong.

Dis, how'd you get so smart at this stuff?

Hey Mobster, could I get a whirl at texturing that?

[Disaster]

Dis, how'd you get so smart at this stuff?

By making errors and figuring out what causes the errors. On alot of textures I made in my spare time about a year ago, I would get alot of dark black lines arround the UV seams which, through trial and error, I found to be that the black space around the texture was bleeding through to the actual texture because of compression and the way rendering engines blur textures to prevent a pixelated appearance.

But how did you learn all the NEW techniques? Where'd you find the way to improve your skills

Tried tapering it in a few different ways, but even at 1° it ends up looking rather fat somehow, so I reverted it.

idk about the glass, if I keep it I'll probably move the 45° bits all the way to the end.

Well thats not always true. I learned some of the things I use in my workflow from friends.

Did I fix things, or make them worse (lol)?
