Uv deformation and artifacts

[asiab5540]

Hi all,

I am running into some issues with uvs on a character I recently reworked, there is some weird deformation in the uvs around the mouth of the character I cannot fix, I have attached some pics below, the edge where the deformation happens is slightly unaligned but i have tried moving the vertices and even when aligned I still have the deformation as seen in the coloured image, if not worse:

 

 

Any help is v appreciated 🙏

This looks more like a hard edge problem to me.

Unlock the normals and smooth them.

Hi,

I have unlocked the normals and softened the edge, but the issue is still there 😞
