I find the uv cords so perplexing.... Say i have side view of a motorcycle helmet image done and would like to place it so it would be duped on both sides. It drove me crazy and it was never placing right and looking all distorted on the helmet 3d file i used.
I'm fairly adapt at ps and know some 3d but not in ps. I suppose i could paint it on, but seems like another can of worms to learn.

Just looking for an answer if it's easy...

In what software are you trying to do this?

Like yourself, I don't use PS for 3D work but I do use 3dsMax.

UV's are pretty simple to understand, unfortunately they can be extremely tricky to get right.

Your situation would be simple to do in a 3D app by overlaying the two uv's and 'flipping' one of them.....giving you the reverse image on the other side.

Without really knowing the finer details its difficult to say what's best to suggest....and If you want to do this in PS then I wouldn't really know where to start.

Regards.

I used Max years ago casually... To download blender and learn all over just to show a client a simple thing.... Yeah a lot of people don't know much about 3d in ps... But it can do alot... Going to Barnes and N, they got a ps 3d. Book...trying not to sound de money...lol

It's an old, unresolved TAPATALK glitch sometimes viewable by tapatalk users. It might be caused by the application or in conflict with the forum systems. No fix has been found so far..... sorry about that.
