Something wrong with my UVs? (Blender and Substance)

Hi all,

 

I've importaed by uvwrapped mesh to Substance to get a decent wool texture for a turtleneck sweater. Almost everything is perfect on the UV Project mode, save for one thing: the center of the neck is curving instead of creating perfectly vertical/linear strips of wool. It does it correctly in triplanar mode but then the sides of the neck look strange. Here's my UV map and wireframe from Blender and a photo of UV Projection and Triplanar Projection as well for you. Rotating various parts of the UV and changing seam locations sadly did not help. Any ideas what the issue is?

Adjust the UV unwrap in Blender with the UV grid enabled so that you can keep the grid squares even and unstretched in the area you want. Blender has the tools to straighten and align the unwrapped mesh.

    Thanks for the feedback! This is my first time uvwrapping, so it makes sense that it might not be adequately done well. I'm gonna look into fixing the issue in Blender.

      Hey that's a handy trick to have in my toolbag. This will be useful for my models in the future. Thanks so much!

       


      I wonder if this is the same with a can design. I have been strugelling with the UV map from Dimension and Stager. 

      Seems like the UV never lines up as I wish it would. At first I belived to be the error on my end as I was the one that designed the can. However, after using Adobe's files that are within dimention and even from stock.adobe.com, I ended up with the same results. I have a attached some screen graps to see if maybe anyone has expirience this issue too.
