Earns its place in the superhive library for covering the path from Blender setup to web-ready 360 assets, animating the object rather than the camera so lighting rigs and backdrops stay fixed.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator creates interactive 360-degree and multi-row 3D product views directly in Blender, turning existing 3D models into smooth turntable animations. These can be rendered as image sequences or converted into interactive web and offline presentations with clickable hotspots and polygonal interactive areas.
The add-on integrates into Blender's Scene Properties and uses the 3D Viewport as a live viewfinder for setting up a shot. Rather than moving the camera, it animates the selected object, so lighting rigs and backdrops stay put. You can build indicator hotspots from Blender Empties, polygonal hotspots from vertex groups or meshes, and adjust framing with integrated camera and crop-region controls or a Fast Render option for draft previews.
Build targets include an image sequence, a SpotEditor project, or a web-ready interactive 360 asset. It works with the free QuickView app on Windows for offline previews, and published assets can be uploaded to PixRiot for CDN hosting, sharing, and analytics. Interactive viewing, advanced hotspot editing, and web publishing require additional WebRotate 360 viewer software; a free version is available. It runs on Blender 2.8 to 5.2 with Blender-Internal, Cycles, and Eevee, under an MIT license.
Webrotate 360 Turntable Animator is best for blender users creating 360-degree and multi-row turntable animations of 3D products for image sequences or interactive web and offline presentations.
Webrotate 360 Turntable Animator is completely free to download and use.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator lists support for Blender versions 2.8 through 5.2, so recent releases including 5.2 are covered. It works with the Blender-Internal, Cycles, and Eevee render engines, letting you render turntable frames with whichever pipeline your scene already uses. The add-on integrates into Blender's Scene Properties under Properties > Scene > WebRotate 360, so setup happens inside the Blender interface. Check the developer's page for the latest confirmed compatibility details before installing.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator handles the animation and rendering inside Blender, but interactive viewing, advanced hotspot editing, and web publishing require additional WebRotate 360 viewer software, and a free version is available. The free QuickView app for Windows gives instant offline previews, while published 360 assets can be uploaded to PixRiot for CDN hosting, sharing, and analytics. You can also integrate assets through WebRotate 360 plugins such as WordPress and Adobe Commerce, or through imagerotator APIs and integration templates. See the developer's page for the full toolset.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator animates the selected object rather than moving the camera, so your lighting rigs and backdrops stay stationary for photo-realistic, studio-style results. It uses Blender's 3D Viewport as a live viewfinder to frame the shot, and includes integrated camera and crop-region controls for quick framing adjustments. You can set up single-row 360-degree spins as well as multi-row 3D or hemispherical views, and a Fast Render option produces quick draft previews before you commit to a full render.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator is listed here as free and is distributed under an MIT license. Note that some capabilities, specifically interactive viewing, advanced hotspot editing, and web publishing, depend on additional WebRotate 360 viewer software, of which a free version is available. For current licensing terms and any changes to what the free tools cover, check the developer's page before you rely on a particular feature in a project.
WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator offers multiple build targets: a rendered image sequence, a SpotEditor project, or a web-ready interactive 360 asset. You can create indicator hotspots from Blender Empties tied to points of interest, and polygonal hotspots from vertex groups or meshes across 2D and 3D surfaces. Published web assets are ready to upload to PixRiot for hosting and can be integrated through WebRotate 360 plugins or imagerotator APIs and integration templates, giving you a route from Blender to an interactive online viewer.
