# How to Design Interactive Leaf Particles in 3D

Spline 3DIntermediate9 min

Hello there! 👋 In this tutorial, we're going to have some relaxing time adding a special touch to our design with animated falling leaves 🍂 🌳

We'll make the falling leaves using the particle system by tweaking the gravity, particle design, force types, and more. Plus, we have a cool extra tip for you on how to also create falling snow ☃️

💖 Tutorial is inspired by Attiq ur R.'s Zentree design made using Spline. 🌳🧘‍♂️ Check it here: <https://zentree.framer.website/> Attiq ur R. Spline Community Profile → <https://app.spline.design/@attiq>
