The download I pointed you to creates jpg's at a user defined

appears to rotate. I *doesn't* expose your original model.
What it is lacking is the zoom function you were looking for.

Their demonstration page still looks fairly good - and my guess is that
by the time I can afford SketchUp Pro, there'll be a plugin that
provides the zoom feature, too.

I've found that a static rendering can be an improvement over even a
photographic image - see http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/Projects/LLJ/ for an
example...
