What is Spline?

Spline is a browser-based tool for designing and animating 3D content for the web. It lets designers model objects, apply materials and lighting, add interactivity with states, events and actions, and export scenes to embed in websites or apps, often without writing code.

How does Spline add interactivity without code?

Spline uses states (saved sets of object properties), events (triggers such as mouse down, hover or scroll) and actions (what happens, such as transitioning to a state). By combining these, designers create interactive, animated 3D experiences visually, and can still export to code when needed.

Can I take the Spline Certification from any country?

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.
