I really like your tutorials, but it seems a bit confusing to use a plane and rotation. Wouldn't it be simpler to just use a circle, bezier or nurbs, and do a path follow with a tracking constraint on your object. Okay maybe not simpler, but more practical with many more uses.

Thanks!

Well, this is pretty much the simplest and fastest setup to get a 360-degree render to study or showcase an object/scene. That was the sole focus of the tutorial.

The suggestions you offered would work but, I wouldn't use them if all I wanted was a 360 turntable render because they would take longer to setup.

Thanks again!
