Baking lighting in Maya

CheeseOnToast

Does anyone know how to avoid seams in your textures when using "convert to file texture" to bake lighting in Maya? If it would overdraw by a pixel or two that would save a tedious hour's work in PS fixing it. I'm still using Maya 4, BTW, but if there's a way to do it in later versions I'm still interested as we're upgrading to version 6 soon.

I can't remember whether 4 had this or not, but 5 has a Option called Fill Texture Seams, when you go to the options box for Convert to File Texture.

I'm guessing you don't have that

in the Convert to File Texture options, Maya 4.5 has an option called "background mode" if you set it to Extend Edge Color it should solve your problem... Though I don't remember if this option is in 4.

Thanks guys, those options are absent in Maya 4, but good to know for the future anyway.
