* With just spinning, you could make a Pepper's ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkgy-WcflWE (but that's silly)

It works much better with cylinders like cans than with more complex shapes, because it's still just four images. @aleksejrs

===Photogrammetry===
+
* Making 3D models out of photos is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry
+
* The only open source program for that I've seen was abandoned and so had annoyingly incomplete UI and crashed often. Not a very popular activity. http://insight3d.sourceforge.net/ (edited)

* There was also a page about doing it using many different programs (IIRC, that included one used for making panoramas with Hugin), but that was complex (also, the most difficult part was removing the incorrect dots). An example was making a 3D model of a part of the earth surface from ISS photos.
