Ball

haven't had a go on maya for ages due to lack of spare time, but i finally got some spare time so i thought i model something... and i came up with a ball!

Cool looks nice, but a bit flat(texture wise, not ball wise lol), try making a bump map for it, would add a heap of realism to it as I'm sure your aware rugby ball's have little bobles on them for grip.

You can bake the procedural texture into a file and then edit that in PS or whatever you need/want to do with it.
