There are many ways you can do this. One would be to take a digitized
image of the ends of your paper towel bundels, and image pap them to your
towel end polygons. This would look pretty realistic. You could draw a
swirly texture in a paint program and do the same or you could even use a
very slight displacement map with a swirly drawn grey scale texture to
give your ends a little depth (uneveness). If you have a toaster or
camera and can do frame grabs, I would just use a real picture of one and
map it to your model.
