Generated Mask stretching issue

HappyGoCrazee

I'm having a problem with some smart masks. For whatever reason they seem to getting confused and streching the mask, but only on certain parts of the object. As shown, the problem doesn't seem to be with the UV. Adjusting the Global Balance can alleviate the issue, but obviously that has many unwanted effects.

What's going on here?

What if you deactivate the triplanar option in the Texture and Texture 2 settings?

That was it! Thank you!!

Is there any reason why this is happening on this particular part of the UV and not others? What it is about Triplanar that does this?

Jerc

it could happen on some parts of the mesh that are mirrored or duplicated  and on which the position map which drives the triplanar can't give you the right value since one pixel shares multiple positions in space.
