What is Spline?

Spline makes 3D design feel closer to Figma than to Blender. Everything runs in the browser - modelling, materials, lighting, animation and physics - with real-time collaboration, so a web designer can build interactive 3D scenes without installing a heavy desktop package or learning traditional modelling terminology. AI features generate materials and textures from text descriptions and help set up lighting. Finished scenes export to the web with a small runtime library, which is why Spline output appears on so many modern landing pages.

FAQ

Can Spline replace Blender?

No. Blender handles serious modelling, sculpting, rendering and animation pipelines. Spline targets web-ready interactive scenes where speed and browser delivery matter more than polygon-level control.

Do I need 3D experience?

Far less than with traditional tools. Someone comfortable with design tools can become productive quickly, though understanding basic 3D concepts like axes, materials and lighting still helps.

Can I export the models?

Yes, including common formats such as glTF and OBJ alongside its web viewer option, which lets you move work into other 3D applications when needed.
