How to get proper curvature maps?

So, when I try to add an edge modifier on Substance Painter, it doesnt work properly. Sometimes it takes whole faces as the "edge", and sometimes it takes only a few of the edges (pic related).

Tried baking curvature maps with xnormal (default), and substance painter itself (messing with the settings to see if I could improve the result). Nothing worked.

Help?

Did you make phong breaks / smoothing groups before importing to Substance Painter? That might be why.

curvature maps are based on uvs. Check your uvs

I do this in substance designer by baking a world space normal map from the mesh, connecting that to a blur HQ node, then connect it to a curvature node. Set curvature intensity to max and change the blur intensity until you have a nice result. Usually about 0.3 - 0.5 is pretty good.
