Feedback using Illustrator Beta Turntable

As of March 30th, Adobe made Generative Turntable a reality in the standalone app. If you haven't seen it yet, it basically allows you to take flat, 2D vector artwork and spin it like a 3D object to see different angles and top-down views. 



A couple of people had commented on the YouTube video, and for their fashion careers, this cuts the costs and time to render a vector drawing in seconds versus hours. The speed is undeniable.

When we can generate a 180-degree character turnaround with a slider instead of manually redrawing every limb and perspective, are you feeling empowered by the speed, or do you feel a bit of "creative guilt" over how much of the heavy work that Illustrator’s AI is doing?

    My Illustrator Beta keeps lagging and I have to keep refreshing. It is frustrating.

    @satisfied_protector55d3 sorry to hear that Illustrator Beeta is lagging on you. I would Disable GPU Performance, this likly will stop the lagging. I would say your computer should have more than 16 gigs of RAM, because of the AI features in the Beta (even though the technical requirements says 8Gigs, the more the merrier. Turn off Real‑time Drawing & Editing and reset your preferences in Illustrator. Make sure to restart Illustrator. Better yet, restart your computer. I know that last point sound off, but, I seldom turn off my computer, unless I need too. Essentially, it resets everything, sort of flush out the toxins! A restart flushes the RAM, kills background processes, reloads drivers, and resets the GPU, which sometimes fixes lag in apps like Illustrator Beta.

    Do make sure you have the latest and greatest Illustrator Beta that you can use too
