Neck seam with Lady Head v0.93

[Seijin8]

Using UNPB-BBP, fitness body and SG Renewal textures, getting a visible neck seam.  Tried a few different approaches and it seems to be the SG textures with the Lady Head mesh causing the issue.  I tried it with Mature skin and the neck seam *nearly* disappeared.  Tried it with SG textures and RAN's head mesh and there was no seam.

 

I can find a few mentions of the seam issue and people attempting to fix it, but nothing about how/what to fix.  Seems that most of them just switched over to Lady Body for their screenshots, which I don't want to do.

 

Attempted Texture Blender (UNP/SG Renewal settings) and it had no noticeable effect, so I am thinking it is a property of the mesh itself?

 

Is it a specularity/shader issue with the mesh?  If so, could changing the BSLIghtingShaderProperty settings in NIFSkope fix it?

 

Issue persists with/without ENB active.

 

I really don't want the lower poly head meshes anymore, and I like the SG textures.

 

Thanks for any assistance!

I don't know if it'll work for you but this is my neck seam fix:

 

1.) With NIFskope Edit the NIF files for the body and the head by making HasNormals from yes to no. Discovered this trick from Radioragae.

2.) Had to manually blend the color textures with Photoshop.

Thanks, Rayblue.  I will give this a try tonight.

If you don't have Photoshop, open-source GiMP with a .DDS plugin will also help.
