Genativity

Product photo to spin

The prompt “Animate this product photograph into a slow 180-degree rotation, revealing the sides consistently”

Requires inventing unseen geometry from a single view. High commercial value, high failure rate.

Kling 4.0

Kuaishou
5.00

Turns about 180 degrees, handle from the right round the back to the left, with rigid geometry. Output keeps the square format of the reference. Verified frame by frame.

Wan 3.0

Alibaba
5.00

Turns about 180 degrees, handle from the right through the front to the left, with rigid geometry. Output keeps the square format of the reference image. Verified frame by frame.

FLUX 3

Black Forest Labs
5.00

About 180 degrees of rotation, the handle moving from right to left, with plausible, rigid geometry for the unseen side. Compared with the reference image.

5.00

MiniMax H3

MiniMax
5.00

Invented geometry stays plausible and consistent through the full rotation.

5.00

Invented back geometry of the mug stays plausible and proportion-consistent through the rotation.

5.00

Invented back/side geometry of the mug stays plausible and proportion-consistent through the full rotation.

Seedance 2.5

ByteDance
5.00

Plausible, consistent geometry invented for the unseen sides of the mug.

Seedance 2.0

ByteDance
5.00

Plausible, consistent geometry invented for the unseen sides of the mug.

5.00

Full 180 degrees, consistent product identity, correct 16:9 (no aspect-ratio drift here).

Kling 3.0

Kuaishou
5.00

Full 180 degrees, consistent product identity. NOTE: output rendered at 1440x1440, inheriting the source image aspect ratio instead of the requested 16:9, see model notes.

5.00

Mug geometry and material held through a full 180°+ rotation.

4.96

PixVerse v5.5

PixVerse
4.73

Coherent rigid-body rotation with consistent lighting; note the output rendered as 1:1 square rather than the requested 16:9, aspect ratio appears to follow the source keyframe image rather than the requested setting -- not a quality defect, noted for completeness.

Vivix W1

Vivix
4.50

Rotates about 90 to 120 degrees, until the handle disappears behind the cup, short of the 180 asked for. The geometry stays rigid. Verified frame by frame.

4.20

Rim/handle geometry warps slightly during rotation, most visible as the handle passes behind the mug.
