Alright, but why would simply changing the colour to black make a difference?
I am not sure, maybe your custom template isn’t 100% accurate in comparison to the Roblox one. Anyway, using custom templates doesn’t make you “professional” (in my opinion, at least).
I’m 99% sure it is the same. And yeah I understand that, but having no template at all makes it look messy, especially when there are things everywhere that wont load into the finished product. I might continue to use my template, but just make where the black lines are incorporated with the clothing, therefore there is no reason for it to be loading in the black lines.
I think if its not a bug, that is the best option for me. Thank you for your advice!
Or do you think switching my black bits to grey or white would fix it? Is it because theyre different colours? The person noted the pinks dots were also showing up too, so you think getting rid of the lines completely would be the best option?
So it’s confirmed it’s a problem of your custom template. If I were you, I would use the default template or I would make again a custom one, because it will be a little bit tricky to fix this issue.
Yeah, but surely using the roblox one or making a new custom one is going to just have the same problem, I feel like the template isn’t lining up entirely correctly when roblox wraps it around characters.
So the only solution is to use the Roblox one. That way you’ll be sure you won’t experience an issue like that again.
Well, I can try it, but I’m not sure if thats going to make a difference. I never used to have any issues, and its leading me to think there is a bug with the way it takes the templates and wraps them round characters. If my template is identical in size to that one, I really dont see how it would make a difference.
As I have already stated before, you can be sure you won’t have an issue using the default template, since Roblox already recognises it. You simply won’t have a problem.
I’m having this same issue but I do not use a custom template. I use the default Roblox one, it has been bugging me but I don’t know how to get rid of them.

There you go then. Its not my template, its a bug with roblox system.

Then I cannot do anything else, contact Roblox Support and report the issue or wait until the PA replacement is done.
I am on that now. Seems to be the only way this will be fixed, as aside from not using a template at all, we cannot fix this issue ourselves.
There is no issue with the template. Those lines are appearing because of the lines that are present throughout the transparent areas.
These lines appear because the image gets slightly compressed when the algorithm puts the template on the shirt.
A solution is to create two layers in your drawing program: One for the template and one (or more) for the shirt. The template layer should always be on top. When you draw the shirt, use a layer lower than the template.
When you’re complete, hide the layer with the template and then export.

That’s something I thought of trying, but the parts around the clothing look ‘messy’, according to some customers. If thats the only way to do it then fine, I’ll have to do that but its not really ideal.
The result of doing this method will come out exactly like it would if the template was visible. It only looks messy when the template is gone. You can explain to your clients that if you had the template visible, lines would appear in their uploaded shirts.

If I have to then I will yeah, but it would be so much easier if it just ignored the template when you uploaded it, especially as roblox don’t mention the fact you have to make the template transparent.

The cause of the problem is the grid lines on the clothing template.
Before uploading the template, you should remove all the grid lines like this
There shouldn’t be any visible grid lines on your design.
Simply removing the grid lines doesn’t really fix the problem. Deleting the grid lines will leave visible empty gaps, but it’s a good starting point.
Solution: The way I do it is by using the nearby pixels to cover the grid lines.

This is the same issue I had when I originally made the post.
You need to turn the template layer off before exporting as a PNG, this should get rid of the border lines visible on the character.
It looks like you’ve made your design on the same layer of the template, so I’d advise making the actual shirt design on a different layer underneath the template (so you know what it is supposed to look like on the character) and then disabling the template layer before exporting to PNG. It may look messy and untidy without the template layer but nobody will see it, and I think it will end up looking cleaner on the character. You may have to add the colour you want your shirt to be slightly wider than the templates guidelines to make sure there is no blank space so it wraps properly.
For reference, look at the post made by @CriticalDucky a little further above, with pictures which will hopefully help you!
Let me know if this helps, if not more than happy to talk further!
