Showcase product variations with animations
1️⃣ Start by using the Make Pattern feature to duplicate your model in any direction and quantity you need. You can experiment with both nested and stacked arrangements to create visually interesting compositions.
2️⃣ Next, add a sphere inside KeyShot and use it as a pivot point. Place it at the center where you want your products to rotate, then select it as the pivot for your rotation animations. Once set, you can simply hide the sphere from the Scene panel.
