ive attempted something like your asking before.
but i made a displacement map and texture for PhilC's oola lekkus instead of a mesh for the swg style lekku wraps.

ive looked to see if ive still got them some where but my texture files are a mess and i cant remember what i even called it.

ill see if i can make them again, as i play a twix in swg i know roughly what your after.
