How to Create 3D Paths in Spline

Lesson 7 of 16Spline 3DBeginner37 min

Hello! In this tutorial, you will learn how to use 3D paths in Spline to achieve many visual outcomes. You will also learn how to animate objects along a path and combine the cloner and physics with paths.

Example scenes: https://app.spline.design/library?category=3D%20paths Physics scene: https://app.spline.design/file/6ed98e23-602d-40b1-b390-30222b3808cf Follow Spline: https://instagram.com/splinetool/

Note: At min 34, it seems there is a fast cut, but that was basically the end of the sentence.
