Spline
Web-based 3D design tool with real-time collaboration features for creating interactive 3D experiences
About Spline
Spline is a browser-based 3D design platform that enables designers and teams to create, edit, and collaborate on 3D projects in real-time. The tool offers comprehensive 3D modeling capabilities including parametric objects, polygonal editing, 3D sculpting, and animation. Users can add interactivity through game controls, physics simulations, and web browser events. The platform supports material customization with layer-based editing, camera controls, and various export options (JPG/PNG, MP4/GIF, GLTF/USDZ). Teams can work simultaneously with individual permission settings, add comments, and organize projects in folders. Spline includes code export for React integration, a component-based design system, drag-and-drop interactions, and video texture support. The platform recently introduced AI Image Generation (Spline Hana) for enhanced creative capabilities. Designs can be embedded directly into web projects via iframe code snippets.
