What is a turntable animation?
A turntable is a looping clip where the camera orbits an object through 360 degrees so the viewer sees every side. It is the standard way to show a product in 3D.

How to do it
- Open the MeshShot web app and import the model.
- Apply the turntable camera preset.
- Export a GIF or video that loops.
Technically the object stays still and the camera moves. Keeping speed constant and ending exactly where it began makes the loop repeat with no jump.
Good to know: Slow, steady rotation reads as premium; fast spins look cheap.
