Spline & Blender

Dive into creating a 3D character from scratch! In this lesson, you’ll learn how to model a character from a reference, starting with blocking to simplify the search for shapes and proportions. Step by step, we’ll refine the model, add details, and finalize the look, making it ready for rigging and animation.

• Part 1: Blocking Out Character
• Part 2: Polygonal Modeling
• Part 3: Body Modeling
• Part 4: Other Character Elements

Here, we’ll introduce you to the basics of Spline. Step by step, you’ll create a full scene, explore working with materials, and master the key functions that make Spline a powerful and convenient tool for creating 3D interactive design.

• Part 1: Introduction to Spline
• Part 2: Creating Scene in Spline
• Part 3: Creating Materials for the Scene
• Part 4: Creating Materials for the Character

We’ll walk through the complete process of bringing a character to life! Starting with rigging in Blender, we’ll create bones, adjust weights, and prepare the model for use in Spline. Then, we’ll import the character into the scene and animate it using Spline tools. You’ll learn how to combine the capabilities of Blender and Spline to create dynamic and expressive animations for your 3D projects.

• Part 1: Character Rigging in Blender
• Part 2: Creating Animation in Spline

Dive into the world of interactivity! Here, you’ll learn how to add interactive animations to elements of the scene and characters.
We’ll set up user-triggered reactions and add sound effects to create a fully interactive experience. This lesson will unlock the possibilities of creating captivating and engaging 3D projects with interactive content.

• Part 1: Creating Animation in Spline
• Part 2: Interactive Character Animation

Focus on optimizing the scene to make it lightweight and fast to load on the web. You’ll learn how to reduce the project’s file size without losing quality and configure all elements for website integration.

• Part 1: Project Optimization
• Part 2: Integrating into a Website

In this lesson, we’ll explore advanced techniques for creating interactive animations using a scene with UI elements. In the first part, we’ll go over the scene structure, and in the second, we’ll add animations, interactive effects for buttons and sliders, and set up object switching.

• Part 1: Scene Overview
• Part 2: Creating Interactive Animations

In this lesson, we’ll continue working on the scene with UI elements by adding a car, an airplane, and a sheep, each with its unique animation and behavior. We’ll also set up controllers to manage the parameters of these objects, creating exciting and varied interactive scenarios.

• Part 1: Model Preparation
• Part 2: Setting Up Controllers
• Part 3: Character Integration
