If you're new to Blender, you might be wondering what a "seam" is. In simple terms, a seam is a line on a mesh that indicates where one edge ends and another begins. Seams are important because they tell Blender where to start and stop when unwrapping a mesh for texturing.
In this quick tip, we'll take a look at how to create and use seams in Blender. We'll also look at a couple of ways to hide seams so that they're not so noticeable in your final render.
Creating a Seam
There are a couple of different ways to create a seam in Blender. The first is to select two or more edges and press Ctrl+E > Mark Seam.
Another way to create a seam is to select an edge loop and press Ctrl+E > Mark Boundary. This will create a seam along the entire edge loop.
Once you've created a seam, you'll see a pink line running along the edges that you selected.
Hiding Seams
Once you've unwrapped your mesh, you may notice that the seams are still visible in the texture. There are a couple of ways to hide seams so that they're not so noticeable.
The first is to use a texture with a seamless pattern. This will help to camouflage the seams so that they're not so noticeable.
Another way to hide seams is to use a shader that blends the edges of the textures together. The Cycles principled shader has an option for this called "Edge Tolerance". By increasing the edge tolerance, you can blend the edges of the textures together so that the seams are less visible.
And that's it! Now you know how to create and use seams in Blender.

Q: What is seam mark?
A: A seam mark is a type of defect that can occur in fabric. It is a line or mark that appears on the fabric surface, and is caused by the needle penetrating the fabric too deeply. This can happen if the needle is too sharp, or if the fabric is too thick. Seam marks can also be caused by incorrect tension in the sewing machine.
Q: How do you remove UV seam blender?
