Sewing in 3Ds Max

[HyDrageN]

Hi to all,
Is there someone explain to me how could I 'sew' around the object in 3Ds Max ?
(or how to create a map maybe if it possible)

Thanks in advance

I'd be inclined to use an editable spline for this and either have it dip in and out from under the surface of the mesh or use it as a path to distribute little individual bits of thread on using the spacing tool.

or, depending how close you get, a simple tiled gradient in the opacity slot, causing breaks in the spline when rendered.

isn't that a job for pelt mapping?
