Soccerball texture

[martin-1]

I'm in a real hurry to come up with a soccerball, and was wondering if anyone had a nice soccerball texture for a NURBS sphere that they would like to share....
Thanx in advance

Hi, I've been a texturefreak for quite a while. I fixed a map up but I can't seem to strech it appropriate, do you know a way to do this?
I'm an intern at Condor a video/3d/web-company and got intrigued by this problem. I made a space-scene once but downloaded the planet maps from somewhere. Even with these maps as reference I can't fgure it out, sorry...

I'v made soccer ball few years ago in Explore, but I did'nt use a texture. Now in maya it's even easyer then befor. U have to
have an soccer-ball polygon primitive plug-in (look here in plug-ins section in Compiled Maya3.0 devkit plug-ins (or elyer) ).You will need to model only 2 parts of a soccerball - pentagonal and hexogonal. Map them as U need and copy maped references using three_point-to-three_point snapping.
Two days ago I helped my friend to build a soccerball even without a soccerball primitive, but it's too tricky.
