Just more fun, and a great example of using 3D models as part of the slide content created by Wanda on the TLC Creative presentation design team. This mini-presentation combines custom 3D models of the TLC Creative logo, images and PowerPoint text. With motion created with a combination of Morph and on-slide animations.

3D Models should be thought of as “standard” design images for the layouts. As example, this fun presentation is a mix of .png images, a 3D model and animation. The 3D model is not obvious it is 3D until its animation.
The animation was created in just 5 slides.
Content was a large background image, a .png image for the fairy wand, a lot of .png sparkle images, and a great 3D model of a pumpkin.
Slides 2-3-4-5 use a morph transition + on-slide animation. Slide 4, with lots of magic sparkles uses a morph transition and over 350 PowerPoint animations to create the effect!

Here is a demo of the new 3D Model TURNTABLE animation created by Christie on the TLC Creative design team. The Turntable animation adds a 3D rotation, of a 3D model, that can be once, twice or endless as an on-slide emphasis animation.
For this demo the Microsoft logo 3D model logo was sourced from Remix 3D.
There are only 2 slides in the demo presentation, each for a specific task.
Slide 1 has the TURNTABLE 3D model only animation applied, with a rotation RIGHT and set to continue until end of slide.

Each 3D Model animation has a number of options. As example, changing the DIRECTION from the original RIGHT to DOWN. To change the effects of the animations, select the 3D model, click the Effects Options drop down, and the menu shows all available variations for direction, type of rotation and where the rotation axis is.
Now the same slide animation looks like this

Slide 2 is how this could be used in a real-world presentation. With slide 1 the logo has a never-ending rotation continue while the presenter introduces the topic. Then with a click to advance to slide 2, a morph transition to seamlessly moves and shrinks the logo to the right side of the screen while presentation content (the bullet list text) enters. And then for fun we used another new 3D model only animation, Jump & Turn, on the Microsoft logo in its new position.

Just experimenting with 3D models and how they can be animated in PowerPoint is exciting and fun for me, because it is new options, new rules, and new visuals. For fun I wanted to create a 3D Virtual Fly Through style animation. Things did not work how I originally intended (we are definitely limited when it comes to moving the camera view inside a 3D model in PowerPoint vs. other 3D specific software). Here is the 3D model of a maze sourced from Remix 3D.
The final presentation is 21 slides, all motion (except the first and last slides) accomplished with repositioning the 3D model, using the 3D View ball, 3D Pan & Zoom and Morph transition.
The final result is a simpler, but still amazing (pun intended!) motion graphic.

Amber on the TLC Creative design team created this fun presentation example that uses 3D Models as art elements on almost every slide, and makes use of the new on-slide 3D Model animations. The presentation is 16×9, PowerPoint 2016 Office 365 with 3D Model support.
Design notes:
3D models are not always small file sizes. This presentation has not video, but it is 60 MB! The editable PowerPoint file can be downloaded here.

Just having some holiday fun here at TLC Creative. Christie, on the TLC Creative design team, created this fun Christmas Animation using 3D (the Gingerbread house), holiday background image and PowerPoint text & graphics.

Using only Morph transitions for the motion, this animation was accomplished in just 7 slides.
Throughout January, The PowerPoint Blog is showcasing all 3D model use in PowerPoint.

Our team here at TLC Creative Services hopes everyone has a fantastic Christmas! As with years past, our design team has had some fun with PowerPoint animation for Christmas!

Sometimes just knowing a hack can save a lot of time. So this is one of those tips included in our TLC Creative PowerPoint training programs where someone always exclaims “Really!!” The tip is how to immediately add a perfect shape (same on all sides), ie. a circle, square or triangle. The solution is so simple, there is nothing complex to forget. Ready,
Click the desired shape in the shapes gallery
Click on the slide. Note: just a simple click, no click and drag, no modifier keys, nothing, just click on the slide.
Done! A perfect, equal sided, square, circle, triangle, etc. is added to the slide
—
And the shortcut to the shortcut!
Hold down the CTRL key and click on desired shape in the shapes gallery
Perfect symmetrical shape is automatically added to the slide!

Amber, on the TLC Creative design team, loves Adobe Illustrator and PowerPoint. We challenged her to build a full vector illustration in PowerPoint. The result is an amazing Thanksgiving cornucopia!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family!

Wanda on the TLC Creative design team created this amazing PowerPoint Halloween Movie. Just like a movie plot, it has 3 scenes. Each is a slide, and each seamlessly transitions from one to another (watch the video, there is no clear distinction of when the action transitions from one slide to another!).
If you are at the office, caution – fun Halloween themed soundtrack accompanies the animation fun!

Each slide has a very long animation pane. This is the top part of the slide 1 animation:
