Wrapping a 2D jpeg/layer around a 3D object (using CS6)

[jayne]

Hi, hope you can help. I'm new to 3D but managed to create a cylinder shape for a tea product. I've designed a body label separately, and now trying to find out how to wrap this layer (or jpeg) around the 3D shape using CS6. I also have lid and base labels in separate layers, so 3 labels in total.

I've searched tutorials and only find ways using the warp tool on, I guess, already rendered and static images.

Thanks.

Convert the 2D file into a 3D file and combine with the other 3D file.

Thanks Sam, I'm working on it now... going to go 'nuts' if I can't figure it out! ;-) Btw, I think these videos are using more textures which can be patched if distorted after placement which may not be the case with my jpeg (it's not a pattern and incorporates text and graphical elements ), but I'm getting to understand a bit more about it to hopefully figure it out. If you know of any more videos please let me know. Thanks again.
