You know there are some morphing torus props that are better than the standard Poser primative, right? Some are in commercial sets but there is a free one here: http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlmagic.html Scroll down to Super Torus.

Search for UVMapper Classic for a free simple software to remap.

Try displacement map for texture detail (is wrinkle the word?) or if you have later version of Poser maybe the Morph Tool can help there.

Best of luck.
