Well I have been having this problem a little to much in my current work lately and it's very annoying since you don't expect it and waste alot of time fixing it. Actually I don't know why it is doing this since it doesn't make sense to me..is the uv to packed? is the texture not suited for angled stuff?...I really have no clue.
So I hope someone can help me out sorting this issue out...:help:

:question: I am not quite sure what the problem is. The texture on the object looks lined up exactly with the UV view. I think the bottom of the texture needs to be pulled up/down a little to line in up with the object.

Does this error also appear on the render? It looks like an error on the triangulation in OpenGL.

Sorry that I didn't point out the issue exactly on the screen but this should help you better in seeing it...

Yes it appears in both the modeler and when rendering.

What's happening is you're mapping a rectangular region of your texture to a non-rectangular polygon, and as was said above, the mapping math is breaking along the triangle edges. In that particular section, you'd get better results by UV-mapping the ring with the vertical/radial lines as a planar projection from above than by the cylinder map you've got going now.

Or a simpler solution would be to take out the vertical lines on the texture map and just live without 'em.

Have you tried applying it (in surface editor) as a cylindrical map inistead of UV?

how does the render comes out? sometimes in opengl you can see these errors but in the final render they don't show.
