I’ve been testing the Turntable tool (powered by @AdobeFirefly) in @Adobe Illustrator, and it’s mind-blowing!
You can generate multiple angles (75 to be precise) from a single 2D illustration.

But here’s the interesting part:
Instead of exporting everything, I took 25 angles and brought them into After Effects as a PNG sequence...

Then I faked a full 3D turntable effect by adding an expression to Time Remap, parenting it to a null object, and driving it with Y rotation.

Try it yourself! (make sure your null object is named “Null 1”).

ctrl = thisComp.layer("Null 1");
rot = ctrl.transform.yRotation;
rot = (rot % 360 + 360) % 360;
frames = 75;
dur = thisLayer.source.duration;
t = linear(rot, 0, 360, 0, dur);
posterizeTime(frames);
t;


Big thanks to Edward Hassenfratz aka @eyedesyn (who is also a Dell Pro Precision Ambassador, like me) for letting me know about this tool.
This is very cool and opens up a world of infinite possibilities.
