Texture issue?

[SachenMacher]

Hello Polycountlers, i am not even sure if i am on the right board to seek help, but i will post this anyways.

I have recently made a uv map for one of my models (i am still kinda new to UV mapping) But there is something wrong with it. I baked the texture with ambient occlusion (more like a test, i would make a serious texture later)

and this is the result.

i am pretty sure that you can see it.

This is the (Test)Texture.

I do think this is a common issue since i got this on other models too.

Harden up your edges along the rim. if the normals are soft, the AO will try to 'interpolate'.

Also, just paint over it, it's not like you're a slave to the information in your ao bake. :p

Could be an issue of 3ds max itself. It likes to do it's own thing with textures.

I might be wrong but it looks like a typical lack of edge padding problem.
Try using a grey background for your texture instead of black to verify it.
Also, please post your uvw unwrap and a wire of your model, it's always helpful.
