reset all views
draw a line
set the line's resolution to maximum
curvy map with a texture similar to mine
adjust curvy map slider
because the line has a predictable map running along it's length
you can 'program' it by drawing grey shades (exciting ?)
(if you make a copy of the map and do a color replace in a paint program you can easily paint the model on the base color)
i have another great way to use lines but i'll save that for a later date
