How to fix padding "zebra lines" on Texture Export

Every Padding export option available produces this. All textures files exported includes this zebra effect (Base, normal, Smoothness, Roughtmness). Any insights and help appreciated. Cheers! 🙂

Well, it's kind of hard to see what's happening on the picture sent, but this isn't really an issue: it is the expected behavior. The padding works by taking the pixels on the edge of every island and spreading its tint through one direction.

 

Therefore, as we usually don't have a unique uniform color on the entire island, this "zebra" effect appear.

 

 

Do you have a reason to avoid these lines or was it just out of curiosity? Maybe we can find a solution to your issue.

 

Best regards,
