you might for the seam try a shape from selection tool. would give you a spline you could make renderable. But then it might not work if you did it pre meshsmooth. hmmm...

hey it does work. Choose your edges, go out of subobject mode, and apply meshsmooth modifier. Convert to poly, go back into suboject edge and youll have your previous selection. Then use create shape from selection and you can turn it into renderable spline
