Very clever,
animations could work but the pixel changes would be noticeable at some points of the rotation (though may keep the depth). You may be able to use less objects by using 1 main object and 1 or more shadow objects. Certainly more layers would make more depth but could perform similar affects.
Hmmm, shadow object, great suggestion @“JR 01”
Yeah, I know the toast looks a little bit crumbly at the edges, that pixels even worse. Was from some beepstudio tutorial where I grabbed it.
UPDATE: replaced the toast with some car model I found
