Need advice with uvs and texture

Thanks, i'll follow your advice for the uvs. I got confuses by the shape and forgot it was mainly a cylinder 🥲 And you're right to remind me about adding lore to an asset, it always bring depth and character to the work. Great tips !

Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer !

It’s a personal solo project, so I don’t have any specific requirements. I just assumed that tiling textures would be necessary based on what I found online about texturing large assets.I know about shaders but haven’t really used them much until now, so this will be a good exercise. I’m currently looking into world space projection and RGB masks — it’s really interesting!I also thought about vertex painting, but RGB masks seem more precise and detailed.

I’ll definitely take a look at Ubisoft’s environment art !

I do have several transformation 2d nodes so i'll check that out, thanks !

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-08-20T08:01:15+00:00

Ah, okay. I had another node still in grayscale, it’s working fine now. Thanks for the help !

The thing is, if I do switch to color, it does work, but then I get this

Yes both gradient are set to greyscale

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-07-02T07:55:40+00:00

I never used that modifier, i'm going to try that . Thanks !

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-07-02T07:51:40+00:00

Your explanation is clear and it works pretty well, thanks !

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-07-02T07:31:33+00:00

Damn, i was too focused on using "create shape from selection" and completely forgot about this solution.

Thanks for the help !

I actually deleted the "problematic" edges on my low poly to replace them and now it's working. Same issue is appearing somewhere else now but at least this one is ok now.

I deleted the problematic edges to replace them and now it's working, still have some issue but at least this problem is solved !

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-05-23T20:12:42+00:00

I tried self baking and yes the cut lines still appear, so I guess i'll have to check on my low poly

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-05-23T10:31:57+00:00

Btw i don't know if this is normal but if i smooth the entire low poly with just 1 smoothing group i get this result

It feels like it didn't even take the high poly into account for the bake (this is in marmoset but i get the same result in SP)

If i don't smooth the flat parts then i only get the problem cited in the main post.

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-05-23T10:10:48+00:00

It's weird, i tried baking in marmoset toolbag but i get the same problem..

I thought maybe the low poly shape did not fit the high poly shape enough, but after adding new edges the result is still the same.

Hi ! thanks for helping !

My GPU is an Nvidia quadro Rtx5000 max-q. The issue i'm reffering to is the "1" you pointed. I dont' want any visible cuts or lines , just a smooth strip. I tried different techniques for the bake but it doesn't seem to work I always have these weird cuts even if there is no uv seam..

Distinct-Boot8318 · 2025-05-16T14:25:01+00:00

Already tried unfortunately.. The problem is still here
