So i noticed something with makehuman imports i havent noticed before and I hope someone can clear up why thus happens.
See part 1 before this/
So to continue
So I cannot think of a single logical explanation for this . I tried many mh models and all did the same.
Who has a theory for this latest blendarism?
just post it in the “part one” thread… no reason to spam the forums.

Trouble occurs with the lower poly MH model. the standard higher poly does not have the same issue.
SEAMERROR.blend (5.06 MB)
When i go to Edit mode and look into the UV, if i zoom i see that at the location of the problem, the UV has a space :
That look strange to me, as i don’t see why the UV is not continuous there and there’s a separation.
Did you re-unwrap this model yourself or is it the direct unwrap from Makehuman ? anyways, in my opinion this is not really good at all to have this separation, it’s not good practice for this kind of unwrapped character.
It’s very odd that it is impossible to paint over that section, i think there’s some kind of bug with the UV there, if this is the default Makehuman UV i guess they have a bug in their low poly model unwrap method, or they’re using some kind of transfer UV between high and low poly that just fail badly at the center of the body.
Anyways, i fixed the UV map with making the seams from the UV, pinning the border UV islands vertices so the UV islands would keep the shape they had, so you would not have odd result when using the original makehuman textures, and i re-unwrapping the body correctly to avoid that bizarre middle separation.
I uploaded the fixed blend on pasteall.

You will be able to paint without the “seams” anymore.
In Texture Painting mode, i recommend you increase the bleed to 4 or 5 instead of the default 2 if you want to paint
Maybe you should report this model as a bug on the bug tracker, as even if the unwrap seems faulty to me, the fact it’s impossible to paint over that odd separation is very strange.
Hey Sanctuary it is the original unwrap. You can paint over the seam but only if u zoom in really close and paint the uv map. Still no idea how moving the mesh outline and painting in other spots makes the original uv error dissapear. Also the error appears on a completely blank newly created uv map so not sure how that happens
I think the error comes from how that uv has been created by makehuman, when i unwrapped with the border vertices pinned the faces in the UV were more naturally displayed (according to how the topology of the low poly model is) , while the original UV had more or less equal faces size (while the low poly model does not have such a thing), hinting to me that the UV could have been the result of some transfer uv tool or decimation that didn’t made a perfect job.
Anyways, on the fixed blend, there’s no problem anymore.
