I am trying to put a specific desing on a sphere in Poser. It has to be positioned on the ball in such a way as to provide the correct pattern while spinning.  However, by simply applying the image map from a .png file that is round/circular in nature - it maps wacky.  Essentially I am looknig to place the round image onto one half of the sphere with the correct design points centered, etc.

when using UVMapper I get a useless boxed map where I have no idea where things go on the sphere when applied.  Does anyone have a sphere object with a good UVmap or texture map that I could follow? Thanks.
