Well, like I said...It's a start. When I preview an STL, it starts spinning by itself, but if you want to vary the speeds and such, Perhaps a motion study video recorded in FreeCad or Solidworks would suffice.

Maybe a way to make the object appear to bounce off the edges of the screen and all over the desktop sometimes as well might be cool.

Good luck!

Not quite the same. You wouldn't see it rotate randomly changing speeds and angles, and other odd ways to approach the object. Just using a video wouldn't be the same.

That does seem like a cool idea.

I was wondering if anyone had created a screensaver for rotating 3D models? I think it might be cool to design something and see it spinning on my desktop fading in and out of wireframe. Has anyone done this yet?
