Exactly that! Thanks.

However, the method here uses a texture map around the ball -- which 
works well -- but I don't know how to properly create the lines for a 
netball. I can play around. I've worked out that a rectangular line run 
through photoshops rectangular-to-polar will give me something fairly 
useful, but I still need to work out what the pattern is. If there is a 
known, easy, way to do this can someone let me know?

Cheers!
Rick
