Spline
Overview
Spline is a web-based 3D design platform that enables individuals and teams to create, collaborate on, and publish interactive 3D experiences directly in the browser. The tool provides a comprehensive suite of features including 3D modeling, animation, material layering, and physics, allowing users to build production-ready assets for websites, apps, and brand marketing.
Designed for designers and developers, Spline supports real-time collaboration and includes an event system for adding interactivity, motion, and game controls to 3D objects. Users can integrate real-time data through variables, webhooks, and APIs, or utilize AI-powered features like Omma to build interactive experiences using natural language. It is suitable for a wide range of use cases, including 3D mockups, animated characters, gamified experiences, and interactive web elements.
How to use it?
- Sign up for a free account to access the browser-based design interface.
- Start a new project or remix an existing 3D design from the community library.
- Use the modeling, material, and animation tools to build and customize your 3D objects.
- Apply interactivity using the event system, variables, or AI-driven tools.
- Export your production-ready 3D content for use in websites, apps, or other digital platforms.
