Pirouette3D

Create professional 3D turntable renders in minutes.

Pirouette3D is a lightweight, browser-based turntable studio powered by three.js, for creating clean, professional rotating renders of your 3D models. Simply drag in a model, adjust the lighting and materials, choose your background, and export a video, GIF, image sequence, or high-resolution still. Perfect for showcasing your models on store pages, portfolios, trailers, devlogs, and social media.

Creating a simple 360° product render shouldn't mean opening a full DCC package or game engine, building a scene, positioning cameras, configuring lights, and waiting for a render. Pirouette3D removes all of that overhead so you can go from model to finished showcase in just a few minutes.

The application automatically imports and normalises supported models, centres them on a turntable, and provides intuitive controls for lighting, camera, materials, animation speed, and background styling. Whether you're showcasing game assets, 3D prints, props, vehicles, or portfolio pieces, Pirouette3D is designed to get out of your way and let your work speak for itself.

Unlike many online tools, everything runs entirely inside your browser. No accounts, no uploads, no cloud rendering, and no waiting for remote servers. Your models never leave your computer, making Pirouette3D ideal for commercial, NDA-protected, or otherwise confidential assets.
