ANSWERED: I need help with weird mask around edges

Vipera

I was following tutorial how to create curvature map without normal map. I have got a strange result when I apply smart material on my curvature map. Curvature maps looks fine. Does anybody know what I have to tweak to get the right mask near edges? Thank you.
My result:

You get those edges because you probably used one or more of those: medium, large, big and huge sliders in dynamask curvature window. Unfortunatly, these don't work too well when you input a curvature map ( they work fine if you input a normal map though).

It is a known issue with the developers and they said it will get fixed. In the mean time you should avoid using these sliders and only use sharp, fine and soft.

Also most of the smart materials wont work with curvature map as input because they often make use of medium, large, big and huge sliders. Your best bet is to create you own material, probably like Billy did for his UZI

Thank you for the answer, Martin7! I have found that tweaking sliders medium, large and big helps to get good result but was thinking that my curvature map was wrong. I hope it will be fixed in next releases of Quixel Suite.
