I understand. Working with image map is more difficult that one could 
think and more difficult than _I_ thought :).

Thanks.

This is the form :). This is just a non trivial form to test mapping
on it.

Not intensional, this is an (small for me, but visible) artifact due
to cylindrical mapping. Perhaps spherical one could be better.

Thanks! Good scaling this time :).

Thanks! As I said above, I learnt much things by doing this image :).

But what is it? It looks like a fairly simple isosurface...

Actually, it looks sort of like the attachment point of a stem on a 
gourd(or the opposite end, where the flower was attached). This is why I 
asked if it was intentional...

Now, if only you could do this with procedural textures!

Sorry, I didn't understand your question :). This is a mesh.
I have Amapi 4.1 (http://www.tgs.com). This version was given for
free in a french magazine so...
This could certainly be done with isosurface but in this case you
cannot use uv_mapping.

Because it's more flexible.  You can change scale, turbulence, ...  Of course
it's not very easy to get nice structures, but imagine a more complex shape cut
out of wood, it would be quite complicated to do that with image maps and
uv-mapping.
