'Tour' of small objects

Is anyone familiar with how to make tours of objects. For example how to show a vase from all angles?

Hi, Jorgen! Actually the technique is to shoot images with the camera fixed on a tripod and move the vase placed on a turntable in front of it. Search "turntable" in this forum and you will found a topic recently posted. I personally use an old recordplayer rebuild for this purpose. I placed a round piece of plywood with marks made on it every 10 degrees. A device fix it in each position so I can repeat it for making multirow object movies. That means when you edit the images you can obtain different movements of the object moving the mouse not only left-right, but also up and downwards. Regarding the software I use Pano2QTVR Pro.

Let me know if you need some links to explanations or techniques.
Good luck, Martin
