Spline Course: 3D Modelling, Animating and Web Integration

Explore the spline interface and controls, create three-dimensional shapes, manage cameras and lights, use selection, grouping, visibility, and import assets to streamline modeling and animation workflows.

Explore essential shapes in the spline editor, from rectangle and ellipse to 3d elements like cube, sphere, torus, helix, cone, pyramid, and lathe, with extrude and bevel.

Explore how directional, point, and spotlight light sources create and control shadows in the spline course, adjusting color, intensity, shadows on/off, resolution, blur, radius, and penumbra.

Explore spline materials built in layered color and lighting, with opacity and blending modes. Apply image, video, depth, gradient, and layers like glass and matcap to craft varied surfaces.

Explore boolean modifiers to create complex 3D shapes from basic primitives in Spline, using subtraction, intersection, and union.

Learn to sculpt with brushes in Spline, using grab, draw, draw clay, and smooth modes to shape terrains, adjust surfaces with brush size, radius, and subdivision smoothing.

Master the 3D path tool in Spline by drawing cross sections with the pen tool, adjusting depth, offset, twist, and path extrusion, and creating custom cross sections linked to shapes.

Master advanced 3d modeling tools to shape complex forms from basic cubes using subdivision modifiers, loop cuts, extrude and insert operations, and hole filling with flat, curved, or engine options.

Activate physics mode in spline, create and group cubes as a table setup, and adjust dynamic body type, gravity scale, friction, damping, bounce, and weights to observe varied motions.

Explore the cloner module to create patterns with radial, linear, grid, and object-based cloning. Adjust count, radius, axis, and alignment, then distribute clones with random, polygon-centered, edges, or vertices.

Explore states and events in Spline, creating a base state and additional states, triggering transitions by time (three seconds) and user interactions like mouse, keyboard, scroll, and drag.

Explore states and events by building a small project with a button and slider that transitions from red to green, using extrusion, bevel, matcap, and Fresnel.

Explore particle emitters, forces, colors, sizes, lifetimes, and fades, use noise for dynamic animation, and apply particles to objects for engaging 3D visuals in the Spline course.

Explore variable-driven dynamics in a spline scene by linking a button to an extrusion variable, using dynamic and counter variables, and applying conditional states to color and animation.

Explore how to create and leverage components in Spline, building a reusable main component with child overrides, states, and transitions, then clone, unlink, and publish to the Spline community.

Create and customize 3D cameras, switch between the personal and new cameras, and craft transitions or path-based movements using perspective, field of view, and zoom.

Learn how to export spline projects for the web using public url or viewer, customize play settings, watermark, background, interactions, and embedding options.

Learn how to export spline scenes and integrate them into Webflow, Framer, and WordPress using production URLs and iframes or HTML embeds, with responsive sizing.

Export spline scenes as image, video, or 3d formats with adjustable resolution and background options, including gltf, glb, stl, and usdz for web, ar/vr, and 3d printing.

Create a portal scene in spline using particles, inner and outer rings, and lighting. Learn to align to path, manage materials, and refine animation for a polished 3d portal.

Create and animate a digital stopwatch in spline, building the body with extrusion and boolean cuts, adding a light ring, display text, and a state-driven progress timer.

Learn to model Eve in Spline using image references, edge editing, booleans, lathe arms, and pattern-eyed displays, then animate with look-at, floating, jumping, and pulsing heart effects.

This lesson guides recreating the flight controlling unit body and display in spline, starting from a screenshot import, building with cubes, grouping, materials, lighting, and a custom font display.

Build and refine the flight controlling unit's middle components by modeling light stripes, a display group, and push button assemblies, adjusting positions, colors, and materials.

Model and align the left side of the flight control unit in spline, building buttons, regulators, rings, and a base plate with precise sizing and materials.

Duplicate and place the right-side regulators and buttons from the left group, align them to screenshot, and update text labels and screws to match the reference image in spline project.
