What is Spline?
Spline is a web-based 3D design tool that allows users to create interactive experiences directly in the browser. It offers real-time collaboration, 3D modeling capabilities, and interactive elements that help designers, web developers, and content creators bring their ideas to life in three dimensions without coding knowledge.
What sets Spline apart?
Spline sets itself apart with its Shape Blend technology and native export options for iOS and Android, giving 3D artists and developers a seamless path from design to multi-platform deployment. The tool's extensive integration capabilities with platforms like Figma, Framer, and Webflow make it particularly valuable for product teams bridging design and development workflows. Spline's built-in physics engine allows motion designers to create dynamic simulations that respond naturally to user inputs.
