@Dr-Sassi Thank you so much, this is just what I needed to understand how to approach this model. Really appreciate the reply and example model and link to the other zip. Thank you.

I've been searching the net for an answer, with no joy, hoping someone here might be able to help. I need to make a texture map to model a UK lottery ball. I have no idea how this is done, any steer on how to approach this would be appreciated.
