Spline

Spline is a browser-based 3D design tool that enables real-time collaboration, interactive experiences, and seamless integration with web projects. It focuses on making 3D design accessible and collaborative, with a comprehensive set of tools to model, animate, texture, simulate physics, and export 3D content for use in websites, apps, and games. Spline emphasizes a live, multi-user workflow and easy embedding into existing workflows via code exports and embed-ready scenes.

How Spline Works

• Create and edit 3D objects using modeling, sculpting, and boolean operations.
• Apply materials, textures, and lighting to achieve desired visuals.
• Add interactivity and animations to make scenes come alive.
• Collaborate in real-time with team members, with per-user permissions.
• Export assets and scenes as images, videos, GLTF/USDZ, or code snippets for React projects.
• Integrate 3D designs into web pipelines via embeds and code exports.

Core Features

• Code export to quickly integrate designs into React projects
• VisionOS-friendly workflows via Spline Mirror integration

How to Use Spline

1. Start a new project or remix an existing 3D design from the Templates Library.
2. Create or import 3D objects, apply materials, and set up lighting.
3. Add interactivity and animations, then test in real-time with collaborators.
4. Export assets or embed scenes into your web projects with code or embed snippets.

Safety and Legal Considerations

• Ensure you have rights to any assets used in your designs and comply with licensing for templates and textures.

Accessibility & Compatibility

• Desktop and mobile web support with cross-platform compatibility (macOS/Windows, various browsers).
• Suitable for individual creators, teams, and enterprises looking to prototype, animate, and deploy 3D content quickly.
