Skin - UV seams visible after building light

gingerfreek

Hey,
i have the following problem. I have set up a Subsurface material for my character's skin and in the material preview it looks great but when i build the light the UV seams are visible..
I just started using Unreal and i can't find a solution, maybe one of you knows how to fix that?

A character is never going to have baked lighting because they are going to be an animated skeletal mesh, seems silly to be concerned about light map seams when they should be dynamically lit.

this is for my portfolio and i use Unreal as a renderer so i want it to look its best..

What do your lightmap uvs look like? Most likely that is where you have a seem in your lightmap uvs. Like ZacD said though there's no reason to bake lighting on a character as they would be using dynamic lighting in any game. If it is for your portfolio you want to show that you can create a character in a way that it will actually get used in production.

That's a good point, without the light building it looks good, it just bothered me. Though I'll keep the lightmap uvs in mind if that happens with static meshes, too
