And don't worry about the description of how you did it, doesn't have to be that very detailed.

Well, I got really excited as my new attempt of creating a texture for this thing went along.. creating a tileable base material, and baked the AO.. then I watched it in 3ds max and remembered.. ah.. right.. the seams..
None wouldn't actually happen to know a way of covering up these kind of seams?
Tried ZBrush.. but one can't paint the model unless one disable the unwrap.. which would defeat the whole purpouse.. and one also need to subdivide it a lot.. as each segment recieves it's own colour to match the texture.

And just one more thing, what does the kanji's in your avatar mean?
