[Noob] UV projected onto 3D model

Rhav

I don't know why this is happening, i tried looking for a solution on the internet, but i can't find anything about this.
It only happens when i hit "tri-planar projection"

As you can the UV as projected onto the 3D model.

Thank you for your time.

i think you're triplanar projecting your mask texture onto the object - this is expected behaviour . 

you want to use triplanar projection on noises etc. and normal UV projection for anything you've painted onto the object UVs
