Weird baking artifact

I'm having issues with baking this rope. Any suggestions where the artifact comes from?

The artifacts occur because your lowpoly mesh intersects itself.

For the ropes it would be the best to just bake a small tilable piece and then tile the texture on the existing lowpoly.

While I agree that making a tilable section of rope would have been a better idea, I think that just changing the projection distance will solve your problem. In Substance Painter it's the "Max Frontal/Rear Distance" parameter, try something smaller.

@Popol yep, that was it, thanks
