Spline
3D design tool with AI generation for 3D UI, interactive experiences, and motion-rich interfaces; export to code, GLTF, or embed URLs.
Spline is a real-time 3D design tool that brings interaction and spatial thinking into the designer toolkit. Modern interfaces increasingly blend 2D, 3D, and micro-interactions; Spline is a strong option for 3D UI, gamified interfaces, and motion-rich experiences. The AI add-on (Professional or Team plan) lets you generate 3D models from text or 2D images, animate components, and use AI texture and style transfer. You can export scenes as public URLs or embed code for Notion, Webflow, Framer, and WordPress; export as React, Next.js, react-three-fiber, Three.js, or Vanilla JS code; or export as GLTF for 3D, AR, and VR. Spline runs in the browser and supports collaboration, making it practical for designers who need to ship 3D and interactive elements in real products.
