So I'm trying to make this sword blade, and I've had no end of problems with it. I finally seemed to have removed all of the shading artifacts, as is shown by the high specularity material I have applied in 3DS max, and then when I brought it into painter, my materials were rotating for no apparently reason along the blade.


Does anyone know what might cause this?

Like this. For the most part, most materials show up properly on it. It just seems to be random fill layers, and I can't make sense of why they're acting this way.
