This is really easy in XSI (and has been since there was GATOR).
Draw a curve that follows the bends of the geometry, extrude a
nurbs circle along it with Automatic UV generation option checked,
then GATOR the UV's to the underlying poly's. Did this many times
with absolutely no problems a few months back.
Anyway, this release of Max looks lame(r).
