Description

Browser-based 3D design tool with visual editor, animation, and web export. Use this skill when creating 3D scenes without code, designing interactive web experiences, prototyping 3D UI, exporting to React/web, or building designer-friendly 3D content. Triggers on tasks involving Spline, no-code 3D, visual 3D editor, 3D animation, state-based interactions, React Spline integration, or scene export. Alternative to Three.js for designers who prefer visual tools over code.

# Spline Interactive - Browser-Based 3D Design and Animation

## Overview

Spline is a browser-based 3D design and animation platform that enables creators to build interactive 3D experiences without requiring code or specialized software knowledge. It provides a collaborative visual editor for designing, animating, and exporting 3D scenes across multiple platforms.

**Key Features**:
- Visual 3D modeling with parametric shapes, extrusion, and boolean operations
- State-based animation system with timeline controls
- Interactive event system (mouse, keyboard, collision, scroll)
- Multiple export options (React components, web code, public URLs)
- Real-time collaboration with team libraries
- AI-powered generation (3D from text, textures, style transfer)
- Built-in physics and particle systems

**When to Use This Skill**:
- Creating 3D web experiences without writing Three.js code
- Designing interactive product showcases or configurators
- Prototyping 3D UI/UX concepts visually
- Building marketing pages with 3D elements
- Collaborating with designers on 3D content
- Exporting scenes for React or vanilla JS integration

**Alternatives**:
- **Three.js** (threejs-webgl): For developers who prefer code-first approach and need maximum control
- **Babylon.js** (babylonjs-engine): For game-focused projects with built-in physics
- **React Three Fiber** (react-three-fiber): For React developers who want to build 3D with JSX
