If you've been rendering products in Blender and want interactive 360-degree or multi-row 3D product views ready for web, mobile, or marketplace use, without rigging cameras and keyframes from scratch every time, the WebRotate 360 Turntable Animator for Blender is built to streamline that process. This plugin brings powerful 360 spin automation, hotspot support, and web publishing integration directly into Blender's familiar interface.

360 product spins made simple (single & multi-row)

Whether you need a standard 360 spin or a more advanced multi-row 3D product view, Turntable Animator takes the guesswork out of setup. It uses Blender's Scene Properties panel and viewport as your "viewfinder" so you can frame your model, set the number of frames per row, and automatically generate a clean turntable animation ready for rendering. This brings consistency and speed to your workflow, especially for eCommerce catalogs with many SKUs.

Hotspots that help sell

Interactivity is key for product engagement, and our Blender plugin lets you add hotspots directly in your scene.

• Point hotspots (via Blender "empties") to call out features.
• Custom polygonal hotspots using meshes or vertex groups for precise clickable areas. 

These can be extended later in the WebRotate 360 SpotEditor with rich content, video, images, HTML, tooltips, and even custom actions for interactive walkthroughs.

Built for web publishing

Turntable Animator supports multiple output targets.

• Standalone 360 product image sequences (great for marketplaces like Amazon).
• Interactive 360 assets for web and mobile using WebRotate 360 Product Viewer (free version).
• SpotEditor projects for more advanced publishing and styling. 

Rendered output works with WebRotate 360's broader ecosystem, including CMS and eCommerce plugins and our optimized PixRiot CDN with analytics and collaboration, so teams and agencies can deliver polished product experiences faster.

Quick start

• Purchase the Blender plugin here.
• Install the plugin (comes as a normal .zip add-on) and optionally install QuickView for instant previews. 
• Setup your animation by choosing a project folder, selecting your object, and positioning your view, no camera rig required. 
• Build your target, previewing with fast renders before finalizing high-quality outputs.

PixRiot recently added a simple but useful feature: the ability to share folders with people who don't have a PixRiot account. This can be helpful if you're working with clients, freelancers, or vendors, like 360 product photographers or 3D design studios, and need a way to either show your work or collect files from them.

What's changed

Here is what's been improved in the latest update:

• Folder sharing is now available to all users (not just paid accounts).
• The process is much faster than before.
• You can choose between Viewer (read-only) or Editor access.
• Content inside the shared folders is now searchable for anyone with the link.

How to share a folder

To share a folder, follow these steps:

• Go to your Assets and choose the folder you want to share.
• Click the globe icon next to it.
• In the Access tab, make sure the folder is set to "Everyone" as Private folders can't be shared.
• Go to the Share tab.
• Set a password and choose whether the access should be Viewer (read-only) or Editor (can upload and manage files).
• Click Create and then copy the link and select Update.

You'll get a public link you can send to anyone. Just make sure to note the password before closing the form as it won't be shown again.

A few things to be aware of

• If you share a folder, all subfolders will also be accessible to anyone with the link and password.
• You can stop sharing at any time by going back to the Share tab and clicking Delete.
• If you give someone Editor access, they'll be able to upload, delete, copy files, so only share that level of access with people you trust.

Did you know that WebRotate 360 Product Viewer v5 now features the first-of-its-kind hardware integration with NOXON's advanced 360 Product Photography Turntable?

This integration is currently available on Windows only, with macOS support coming soon.

NOXON, a Spanish company, specializes in professional photography equipment such as robotic 4-axis camera sliders, cablecams, and a range of accessories. Their turntable supports objects up to 200kg with the standard platform size of 80cm, covering most studio requirements, and custom platform sizes are also available.

Built with durability in mind, the turntable delivers precise rotation, smooth motion, and adjustable acceleration. It also includes the Noxon control accessory for full remote operation and is compatible with other NOXON robotic products - an ideal option if you’re looking to expand into their broader photography solutions.

So, what does WebRotate 360 bring to the table?

Turntable and Camera Control in WebRotate 360 SpotEditor

Simply select "Noxon" in the Integration dropdown when creating a new project to activate the turntable control panel at the bottom of the SpotEditor preview. After setting up the USB connection and configuring rotation settings via the gear icon, you can initiate either full-auto or semi-auto stop-motion rotations.

The built-in camera integration, using a standard shutter release cable, automatically triggers the connected camera at each stop - providing a smooth and efficient capture workflow.

Instant Image Loading & Preview in WebRotate 360 SpotEditor

This feature works if your camera can automatically download captured images to a folder on your hard drive. We recommend testing this workflow before making a purchase.

Starting with WebRotate 360 Product Viewer v5, we introduced a folder monitoring feature. If your camera is set to automatically download images to a specific folder on your PC, and this folder is monitored under Images -> Rows in SpotEditor, new 360-degree images will appear in the active project's preview in real time. You can instantly explore and interact with the partial 360 view, while any configured real-time edits (crop, resize, image filters, etc.) are applied automatically.
