Add Mouse-Based Interactions to 3D Objects

Lesson 4 of 16Spline 3DBeginner14 min

Learn how you can easily create interactions by making 3D elements react to your cursor!

This guide is designed for beginners, ensuring an easy-to-follow introduction to these concepts.

We demonstrate the power of mouse events in enhancing 3D designs, such as mouse up, down, press, and hover events. We also showcase how to create interactive experiences by linking mouse events to actions like color, size, and animation changes, as well as camera movement and more!
