Convert 3D model to 360 spin

On this page

Sirv can convert .glb, .gltf, .usdz, .obj, .fbx, and .blend files into 360 spins. These fast-loading spins can be shown on any browser or device, using Sirv's interactive 360 degree product viewer.

Spins can be easily embedded on any web page either by adding 2 lines of code or using a Sirv plugin.

GLB converted to photorealistic 360 spin

This spin is made up of 5 rows, with 36 images per row (180 images in total). It was rendered using photorealistic lighting, with shadows and a plain white background. The master file was a GLB model.

</div>

Many settings can be configured, including:

  • Background
  • Shadows
  • Lighting
  • Environment image
  • Exposure
  • Camera distance
  • Camera lens
  • Image format (JPEG or PNG)
  • Width
  • Height
  • Frames per row
  • Number of rows

GLB as plain 360 spin

Models can also be converted to 360 spins without by using standard browser based environment settings. These spins look more like CGI models - not photorealistic - but they are fast to render and can still look good.

Like the previous example, this spin has 5 rows, with 36 JPEG images per row (180 images in total):

Original GLB model

Below is the original GLB model file, displayed using Sirv Media Viewer. You can see that it feels like a CGI model, rather than real product photographed in a studio:

Supported model formats

Sirv can convert many types of model - GLB, glTF, USDZ, OBJ, FBX and Blender files. These files should contain all the necessary materials and textures to display the model correctly.

Conversion process

Please upload some sample files to your Sirv account, then contact the Sirv customer success team and ask us to generate spins. Different settings suit different files, so we can identify settings that work best for your models.

Once the optimal settings have been identified, we can configure an automated rule to convert all your models to 360 spins.

Other model formats

If your models are in a different format, please ask your 3D model provider if they can export the files in GLB format.

Alternatively, contact the Sirv team to describe your requirements and we might be able to convert your models to both 360 spins and GLB files.
