Sliding Shop GUI left/right question

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Ran across a Roblox game called 3-2-1 Blastoff Simulator that has a Shop design that appears to use models on a horizontal last/next navigation type of design.

  2. What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!
    Trying to educate myself how the 3-2-1 Shop system was created, my attempts result in static images versus a 3d experience. Appearance of a room with display cases for each Shop item available for purchase, slides left/right using navigation button. Description, prices, etc change with each new item centered in Shop.

  3. What solutions have you thought of so far?
    First thought used a ScrollingFrame under a ScreenGui, but images are static. In 3-2-1 the Shop models have 3d appearance as you navigate left/right you can see the depth/side details as items move.

3.1 Explored option of Viewportframe with desired display of models, but once CurrentCamera is mapped in Studio it becomes static. Roblox documentation talks about how a new camera is required to apply animation during run-time, but ran across a YouTube video showing how to 360 rotate a single model in a Viewportframe–engine enhancement maybe? (Nothing as complex as the entire Shop system, though).

3.2 Attempted to change CFrame of Viewportframe CurrentCamera to a Part CFrame to change Viewportframe display, but camera view never changed. Was thinking it may be possible to map the Viewportframe CurrentCamera to a Part CFrame and then simply move the Part to give the illusion of moving through items in a Showcase type environment.

I could resort to static images in a Shop GUI but was intrigued by the design used in 3-2-1 and wanted to see if I could re-create it. Any thoughts or references to documentation would be helpful.

Ran across this article, may be able to make this work but interested in thoughts others may have.
