How can I create 3d pentagon in photoshop, like the cube preset, but with 5 sides?

How can I create a 3d pentagon in photoshop that is like the cube mesh preset but with 5 sides? Or create a 3d triangle that is like the cube or cube wrap presets? I can draw either the pentagon  or triangle, and extrude them. But, I can find no way to change the 'material' on each side like you can with the cube mesh preset. What I'd like to be able to do is create the shape then change the material on each side to be a different picture, not the same picture wrapped around the object, which is what happens when you extrude the object from a drawing. Below is something like what I'd want.

Since there is no mesh preset to create such objects as this, is there a way to create my own? Or is there is one for download somewhere? I have searched for this and can't find one.

Thanks,

Joe

    I do not do 3D stuff I saw the Photoshop Meshes are DAE files.  All DAE files are not equal the are XML file and can contain different information about 3d object surfaces and materials even Photoshop animations.  So I not sure the dodecahedron.dae file I downloaded from linearchaos/Dodecahedron.dae at master · t3kt/linearchaos · GitHub is one that has the proper information that should be in Photoshop Presets\Meshes. It is a dodecahedron 3d object that has single surface texture for the dodecahedron 12 sides. Not 12 surface materials one for each of the 12 side. Adobe has two Cube DAE file in meshes one has materials for the cube 6 sides the other Cube Wrap has one surface material that is user on all 6 sides.   The  dodecahedron texture seems to be a single file the has geometry for all 12 sides that are wrapped around the dodecahedron. The dodecahedron.dae file created in blender does not have the material information found in Adobe .dae meshes files.


    I found a Dodecahedron .obj model on the web and opened it in Photoshop and save out a  new Dodecahedron.dae file with an infinite light and added the Dodecahedron .dae file into Photoshop Presets\Meshes,  I opened a new 1000px x 100px document and used the Dodecahedron mesh to create a 3D Dodecahedron layer and open the default texture to create a Photo Collage Template for the 12 sided Dodecahedron to be used with the scripts in my Photo Collage Toolkit package.

    Here are the two files you need Dodecahedron.dae and DodecahedronTmp.psd

    Download the two files install and use them

    Copy the .dae file into Photoshop's \Presets\Meshes.

    Open Photoshop and use one of my Photo Collage populating script to  populate the template DodecahedronTmp.psd.  I would suggest the PopulateCollageTemplate script.  Once the 12 images have been populated leave the populated collage template open in Photoshop.

    Open a new 1000px by 1000px document and use menu 3d>New Mesh from Layer>Mesh Preset>Dodecahedron.

    In the Layers palette double click on _PS_3D_Default - Default Texture to open it in Photoshop.

    Switch to the Populated Template document and Target all the layers in the Layers palette. With the shift key held press drag all the layers from the layers palette and drop them into the Default Texture document.

    X out of the the template document do not save.

    X out of the texture document and SAVE it.

    Done.

    Todays Photoshop crash produced a System crash report Adobe di not catch it and produce their report. Todays crash was in ucrtbast.dll which is in \Wibdows\System32\   being crt is in its name it mah had to do with my displat adapter software I see it there is a newer version.

    I did not see any way to view Adobe crash reports before sending them off the one I have seen online I do not know to read them.

    I had the latest driver installed.

    What I want is something like this cube and on each side a different photo, but I'd like to make it with different number of sides and height. I'd like to be able to do something different than just a cube.

    It depends on what you mean by 3d pentagon.  A Cube is the same as an extruded square  like a  cylinder is and extruded circle a  sphere is not an extruded circle like a pyramid  is not an extruded triangle. In your mind what does your 3d pentagon look like. Ball like or extruded pentagon.

    Something like the rotating cube in the example I uploaded a few minutes ago. With different photos on each side. Not in a cube, I can do that with the cube mesh preset. I'd like to be able to do a pentagon, hexagon, triangle etc.

    I more or less was able to automated  most of the process for a least one size dodecahedron. I download a dodecahedron.dae file and added it to Photoshop Presets meshes..  I Opened a new 1000px by 1000px document in Photoshop and used Photoshop 3D menu New Mesh From Layer>Mesh Preset>Dodecahedron. I then double click on the 3D layers default texture to open the texture in Photoshop I stroked the 12 pentagons and created 12 Alpha channels Image 1 through Image 12 and save out a Photo Collage Template file dodecahedronTemplate.psd. I then close the template document and texture document. I use Photoshop menu File>Scripts>PopulateCollagerTemplat to populate the dodecahedronTemplate with 12 of my Images.  In the 3d dodecahedron document I double click on the Default Texture to Again open the default Texture PSB work document. I then target the 12 Smart Images layer in the populated collage template document layers palette and with the shift key held down I dragged and dropped them into the Texture PSB work document.  I then save the texture document to update the  dodecahedron 3D layer in my document with the images.

    The biggest problem I have is CC 2018 19.1.6 keeps crashing and sends reports to Adobe but no Windows Crash reports are generated I do not know how to use Adobe crash reports to see where my CC 2018 problems are nor can I find any Adobe crash reports on my system. Sending them to Adobe must delete them on one's machine.


    That looks pretty interesting. I'd like to try it and see what I could do with it. You said you "dodecahedron.dae file" and added that to the mesh presets in photoshop.

    May I ask where you downloaded this file from?

    The only place I have found to download one was from adobe stock and a few others like that, all requiring subscriptions with a monthly charge. I wouldn't mind paying a small, one time fee, but an ongoing monthly charge for something that I may use once or twice in a year for something that I'm not making money from, well I just can't justify doing that.

    I'm not that familiar with adobe crash reports, but doesn't it give you an opportunity to view the report before it is sent? If it does then maybe you could copy and paste it before you send it? I'm not sure if that's possible to do but it may be worth a shot if it happens again.
