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.

This could be a start...just upload your STL to the Soliforum and open it to see the rotating 3D preview and start a screen recording.  Once you've got a video, try this:

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.

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?
