Make the shape as a mask then use traditional shading approaches. You know, all those "paint spheres and cubes with highlights and shadows", what you want sounds like half sphere - cylinder - half sphere. If the shape is regular and you are not very artistic inclined, maybe you can get it done with bump map or lighting effects or even some map to object and assembling the parts. For example render a sphere, then cut it in half and extend the middle part to make a cylinder (cut one pixel wide from one half sphere then scale it horizontaly so you join both half spheres).
