Spline: Easily Create 3D Experiences for the Web

In the past couple of years, we’ve been seeing a rising trend in the web design industry which involved adding interactive 3D elements in websites.

While this trend allowed brands and businesses to create unique web experiences that helped them to stand out from the crowd, most of the time it was only utilized by big corporations. Mainly because creating 3D web experiences used to be limited, expensive, and, worst of all, they were very time-consuming.

Spline is a tool that aims to change that. Spline allows you to design and export functional 3D experiences for the web using a very simple and easy to use design tool.

In this post, we highlight what Spline can really do and how it will change the way you design websites in the near future.
