Answer 1

1. Create a Smart Object of your pattern/image (the orange and grey stripes)
2. Duplicate your object(Cmd/Ctrl+J) as many times as there are 3D faces to work on
3. For each object/layer, use the transform tools (torsion, free transform) or use the new perspective tools

If you change the content in your Smart Object, all the face will change accordingly.

PS. If you create a Smart Object directly from a vector image copy/pasted from Illustrator, you must create a Smart Object of the Smart Object ;-)
