Use Vanishing Point to define shapes in 3D and then rotate them in space

Apply the Vanishing Point filter to an image and define the perspective planes you want. Hold down the Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) key as you drag the edge of a plane to start a new, connected plane. Then click the Vanishing Point settings menu button and choose Return 3D Layer to Photoshop before clicking OK to exit the Vanishing Point window. Now double-click on the new 3D layer thumbnail in the Layers palette to enable a set of 3D rotation tools in the Control bar across the top of the screen. Use these to manipulate the new object in 3D space.
