I had planned on posting this exact question tonight! John is attending B&Ps wrapping course tomorrow and Wednesday so we hope to be pushing that side of the business shortly and had the same query as you.

I read on another company website that they use 3d software to show the customer the finished art work.

Ive done a few 3D demos for high end clients. 3D takes time, time is money, therefore for the average customer the time just isnt justifiable to spend showing them a 3D mock up of it. Usually i will take photos of all the angles of the vehicle then scale it to size, lay the design out on it and flatten the artwork in photoshop, select "Overlay" for the type of layer and it drops onto the picture perfectly. Here in the US they have this for the vehicles http://www.thebadwrap.com/ the price tag is very high. Its basically photos of all the vehicles with layer masks over them scaled to size. Its the same thing as the vehicle templates but with real software. You still need to factor in all the compound curves etc so for that price I dont think its worth it.

Probably the future of vehicle templates.

That looks fantastic – does anyone have first-hand experience of this?

The experience I have had is a decent one, not a great one. The client either needs to be looking at your computer, or needs to have a computer with OpenGL capabilities on it since it uses it to view the 3D show. Emailing the files to the clients were out of the question because some of them were up to 30 megs depending on the file an vehicle used (so FTP or uploading to the company website were the only options) If not you had to burn them to CD and mail them to the client and hope that their computers were capable of running it (most computers from the last 2-3 years really shouldnt have a problem but I had a few complaints) It was definately easy to use though.
