How to create Basketball (ball) texture for Sphere Object?

I get just random noise…

I’ve also tried using commas with “basketball, ball, game” in prompt
and "stone, cell’ in negative prompt

Hi makaka!

Having high-consistency patterns is difficult to achieve with generative models, however we are almost ready to push an update that allows for fine-grained pattern/shape control.

Spherical objects are a bit tricky for square seamless textures, especially when there is a wrapping pattern such as the black lines on a basketball as there will be distortion around the poles of the sphere. You can use a texture like shown above on your own properly unwrapped sphere and apply the black lines after-the-fact. You may be able to have the black lines in the square texture in such a way that they are distorted to look correct on a sphere but this is not best practice and will likely result in lower quality.

Main tip would be to prompt for specific materials rather than specific objects.
