curvature mask generator problem

avonsaku · Oct 2023

Hi!

When using the Curvature generator for the mask, artifacts appear in the form of black areas on the borders of UV islands (do not pay attention to triangles). This happens mostly on one side, but on the other there is a small problem in the form of a white area at the top.

I realized that if you place the UV islands away from each other, then the problem seems to be solved, but this is not an option for a full model.

Here are screenshots of my UV and model:

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Move seam away from the hole maybe?

the best fix is to build your own curvature generator if you have the means.

the mask editor might have a more robust curvature mask than the standalone generator, i think that's the one they've been maintaining

It looks like you've used a boolean to create the hole, which can cause issues when baking around edges. I'd try to create better edgeflow around the opening. You can also try to move the seam away from the hole, and also bake on a higher resolution.
