How to use

  1. Upload a GLB file or select a model from your Dashboard
  2. Set the rotation speed and direction
  3. Choose a background color or enable transparent background
  4. Click render and download your video

Options

Background - Pick a solid color, gradient, or transparent (alpha channel). Transparent backgrounds are useful when you want to composite the video over other content.

Rotation speed - Control how fast the model spins. Slower speeds work better for detailed models where viewers need time to appreciate the surface.

Camera angle - Adjust the vertical angle to show more of the top or sides of your model.

Output

The spinner renders an MP4 video file. When you choose a transparent background, the output includes an alpha channel so you can layer it in video editing software.
