Hi mate,
No worries on the duplicated post.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do the screencast.
My problem is not so much the shape but having the artwork create the shape itself like in real life.
I have attached two images, one explaining how the wrapper works and how it wraps over itself.
The other is how far I got with doing it in a test. The problem is that this method was with mapping and is only good from one angle.
I need to be able to replicate the whole thing and view it from all angles.
Thanks again for your help so far!

Not that I now. Deforming geometry keeping dimension is cloth simulation plus dynamics.
Another possibility is to 3d scan a cornetto, overlap a cone and use the cut tool to follow the cover seams. Then you can skin the UVs. It would not include the overlapping parts but they are not visible anyway and simply need to be outside of the UVs. If you need to do some corrections to the Photoshop texture to match it you could use warp transformation in a smart object that will keep the original proportions of the texture. But 3d scan is another external tool to learn.
Finally, without 3d scan, you could also take 4 photos of a corneto and use them as reference in 4 reference planes for the cut tool. It could be a bit messy but probably can be done. But again I would leave the overlapping parts texture out of the UV.
This is simply me guessing the cut without references. I would not be able to make the edge straight without repeated blind guesses. But with photo references could be more exact
I know none of these solutions are a couple of click solution but waiting somebody else can suggest anything better, they are possible solutions.
