Urgh... yeah. Really, you might just be better off modelling the damn thing. Anything involving curves and heights (ie a sloping curve) without using that displacement tool whatsit (Twister, or whatever it's called) is going to run into *a lot of pain*. Observe:
http://www.guessmyname.darkstars.co.uk/pictures/jb_duality/update2/jb_duality0009.jpg I spent DAYS building that... *cries* So yeah; model it (Proper UV-editing tools = yay) or use a displacement generator if you really want seamless curves.
