lisa, thanks for the reply.

The UV mapping projection sounds more difficult than just applying the stripes and rotating the disks. Surface counts were 48 for a conical shape without a spiral stripe and 288 surfaces for the more complex but more accurate version. Here's some pictures showing the image map problem and what I'm using now.

I thought I might take the object I created and flatten it out to see if there might be an easier way to map it. Meanwhile, the straight lines and rotating disks using points works OK.

Thanks again.
