Is there a somewhat simple way to apply a pattern design to fit a 3D product template, for instance a glass template? How is it done so that the pattern will go smoothly around the entire product?
 
...3d in illustrator requires using the 3d effects tools "effect > 3d > revolve" options...on a vector shape...

...the pattern needs to be a "symbol" graphic added to the symbols palette (window > symbols), from there the symbol can be added to a 3d surface applied via the "effect > 3d" map art button in the 3D revolve dialog...
