    I am working on a beading pattern book and I am looking for advice on
    how to get the 3 d effect and different gradients for the beads to
    look real., such as shinny, flat, opquec, opal, clear colored, silver
    lined. round, rectangle, hex in shape also. I am currently using
    word , paint draw. Does anyone have a better idea.

    I reckon you will need something like Adobe Photoshop, or Paintshop Pro,
    to achieve the effects you need.

    Learning curve to be dealt with as well, I'm afraid!

    ....or create beads as 3D Solids in AutoCAD, apply appropriate materials,
    reflectivity, etc., then arrange them in the desired patterns, and RENDER.

    Still a pretty steep learning curve, though.
