Haven't even watched the video yet... had to pause to say that I love what you guys are making with Spline! I've never been able to learn 3d design as it's just to overwhelming and the learning curve of most apps is too steep... but I tried Spline recently and it is the most fun I've had playing around with any app (not just 3d)!

Finally the tutorial is here 🥺♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥

This tool enables everyone to easily create animations and 3D designs.

[@joaocesarlima7339]

Fantastic! This opens up a huge range of possibilities!

[@second_sheep690]

It sounds great. We can build a city in spline easyer now.

[@maihuynh7776]

aesthetic overloaded in this video ✨🎉

[@uidive]

This is mind blowing and so easy to use! Thank you guys!

[@DimAsString]

Just awesome!!!!!! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, with vector clone I can now create particles

[@zijaystan]

Thanks you for shay this amazing ways to create so astonishing design and explore our mind to recreate more .

[@paulpatel6130]

Nice presentation and step by step explanation. Please reduce or eliminate the background music volume. Thank you for the great overview.

[@good_vibes_20]

I prefer the music, relaxes me. But to each their own. Not hating on your idea. Just respectfully disagree, have a nice day!

[@leeware4722]

Great tutorial. Thank you Alejandro.

[@jdjdjjsjdj1389]

Thanks for the update ❤️

[@projectof5123]

This is so goooood ! You are my way in 3D, thanks !

[@Benjaminbadakhshon]

why I did't know this software existed!

[@James-ow4yt]

Love it, will there ever be a possibility to control parameters based on an audio waveform a.k.a an audio visualizer effect?

[@haloway]

Awesome tutorial! I'm trying to export a clone and use it in a react three fiber project, however the animation isn't playing. I have added the state and transition and on Spline the animation does work. Is there anything additional that I'm missing? Thanks!

[@AlMagic911]

nice, but when i make 100 duration it just moving super slow, or 8month old video and there is update and cant do like that?

[@splinetool]

If you increase the duration; you need to also increase the “movement” (or the parameter you are animating) in the cloner; otherwise you will move a little in a huge amount of time.

[@kurylau9191]

Cool! Why does the glass material export have black edges when the background is not selected

[@raphaelcarvalho7180]

How to I hide the object that the cloner is using as guide. For example, keeping the cylinders using the sphere vertex as a position, but hiding the sphere. Thanks!

[@dmitryvazhenin6413]

Hi guys! You have an amazing product, i was wondering why its impossible to animate dynamic body types with transitions??

[@AchrafHazim23]

Amazing tutorial! Quick question, how are you achieving the lighting in your cub example?

[@AchrafHazim23]

And is there any way to use the cloner on an object's volume?

[@adamsnook5135]

Are you showcasing these on the browser or app version? I was trying out the clones system on the browser and wasn’t able to achieve fluid playback when I build out an animation from a single asset. Ta!

[@kalman_]

Very good tutorial but in the latest version the hide function for the base is not working.

[@illiapiasetskyi]

Hey, thanks for what you do! Spline is an awesome tool!
There is a small thing I don't get, maybe someone can help me. At 20:04 there is a cube that was modified and I see that the anchor point is moved to the bottom part of the shape, and can't get how to do it. I know how to move the anchor point in a group, but not with a single object. Thx.

[@TonyAna.]

crazy good stuff !

[@TonyAna.]

just found the limits of a macbook 16" m1 pro 16gb chrome browser lolz, its 2:28seconds of 4k animation bwahahaha ( insert evil laughter )

[@yozhech7819]

Very nice

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Sexah! Excellent tutorial and system.

[@Nu_davai_zapla4]

awessssoooooooooooooome/Thank you very much

[@marclegoux4615]

Dope

[@terenceteo5453]

cool

[@ratsuns2828]

can't see the reset all option from the right click menu.

[@bowendevries]

Hi, you can scroll down after opening the right click menu.

[@carloschick5555]

this is awesome! Could i use the cube for my website or is it copyrighted?

[@kandydavins]

Is there a way to control the speed of movement?

[@splinetool]

Yes! You can use a lower number for the Movement parameter, or you can increase the duration of your transition.

[@kandydavins]

@@splinetool Sweet, I will try that. For some reason, when I hit play. My model moves way too fast like its having a seizure.

[@ttv429saif3]

alejandro ur the cutest

What is the cost of Spline?

[@splinetool]

It's Free! and there is a subscription but only to unlock some advance features.

[@SimplyAlteringMaterials]

@@splinetool What is the cost of the subscription? Also, Why not make it a stand alone software and sell it?
