take just about any 3d rendering software ( i use an old, easy and deceptively powerful program called Visual Reality ) and create cylinders for the joint, forearm, wrap, sleeve, cap and bumper and align them up as it would be in a cue. you can then use a drawing program like Corel Draw to create your flat design "wraps" using textures and vector drawings. save them as a .jpg or another type graphic file and then import them into your 3d rendering software. "wrap" the images around their matching cylinders and render the the view. this works pretty nice. the downside is if your design has silver in it you have to do all the reflections in the drawing program which is not easy if you don't understand how metals reflect in the real world. bill's program is much better at this but everything else is just about the same. here's a link to my old crude website www.flash.net/~tlilek. look at the sample pages. these are also crude examples but then again i did these about 10 years ago. they're just the beginning of what you can do.
