Adobe Illustrator now lets you rotate 2D vectors in 3D space

Adobe Turntable is now generally available in Illustrator, allowing creators to generate multi-angle views from any vector illustration. Here’s how it works.

’What once took hours now happens in seconds’

Back in October 2024, Adobe previewed Project Turntable at the Adobe MAX conference. At the time, it was just a sneak peek of the feature, which the company said would allow users to “rotate your drawings in 3D while still retaining the 2D art style at any angle.”

Watch the moment below:

Today, the company is making Adobe Turntable generally available in Illustrator, which means creators can now create instant multi-angle vector views of their assets in seconds.

Adobe said that the feature was refined during the beta process, and now automatically “generates up to 74 editable views from a single vector design, including full rotation and vertical tilt.”

Watch it in action below:

The company adds:

Each angle remains a fully editable vector, enabling designers to quickly create turnarounds, animations, and production ready assets while preserving original details.

Adobe says that during the beta, animators leveraged Turntable to speed up character turnarounds for pitch decks, while game designers used it to generate concept art for new projects.
