Spline
spline.design
Browser-based 3D design tool for creating interactive 3D scenes embeddable in websites.
Why it is useful
Makes interactive 3D web content accessible to designers who cannot write Three.js. The exported scenes embed directly in web pages with a single script tag, opening up a category of visual design that previously required a developer.
