360 orbit
The prompt “A full 360-degree orbit around a seated woman reading a book, background geometry stays consistent”
The hardest camera move. Requires the model to hold a whole scene in 3D.

Kling 4.0
KuaishouA full turn in one take: front, profile, back, the other profile and front again, with the woman and her book unchanged. Verified frame by frame.
Runway Gen-4.5
Runway
Kling 3.0 Turbo
Kuaishou
Seedance 2.0
ByteDanceCompletes a genuine continuous 360-degree orbit with the room geometry holding throughout.
Grok Video
xAIGenuinely completes the 360 with stable geometry, succeeds where Sora failed on this exact prompt.
Kling 3.0
KuaishouGenuinely completes the 360 with stable object permanence, succeeds where Sora failed on this exact prompt.
Google Gemini Omni
GoogleCompletes a full 360-degree orbit (passes behind the subject and returns to front) -- the only model so far to fully execute this prompt rather than a partial arc.
PixVerse v5.5
PixVerseSmooth orbit with consistent parallax; full 360-degree completion not explicitly confirmed by the judge, light fidelity discount only as a precaution.
Vivix W1
VivixThe camera travels about 270 degrees, from the front past her back to the opposite profile, in one take, but does not close the full 360. The woman, her sweater and the chair hold together. Verified frame by frame.
Wan 3.0
AlibabaThe camera slides about 20 to 30 degrees across the front of the seated woman instead of orbiting her; she is never seen from the side or the back. Verified frame by frame.
FLUX 3
Black Forest LabsFAILURE MODE: the camera travels only about 90 to 120 degrees, from the front to her side, and never completes the 360-degree orbit. The room itself holds together. Verified frame by frame.
Seedance 2.5
ByteDanceFAILURE MODE: completes only a partial 30-45 degree pan instead of a full 360-degree orbit, never moving behind the subject. What is shown stays geometrically coherent.
OpenAI Sora 2
OpenAIFAILURE MODE: only a ~60-90° arc, never completes the 360°; background changes from a window+plant to a full bookshelf wall mid-shot, the room itself is not held in 3D.
Google Veo 3.1
GoogleFAILURE MODE: covers roughly 270 of 360 degrees and the bookshelf relocates to the rear wall partway through, breaking 3D scene coherence.
MiniMax H3
MiniMaxFAILURE MODE: camera stays essentially static (verified frame by frame, near-identical framing at start, middle and end), never attempts the 360 orbit.
MiniMax Hailuo 02
MiniMaxFAILURE MODE: camera stays essentially static, never attempts the 360 orbit around the subject.
