Exploring a Spline alternative?

A visual 3D studio.
Built for designers.

Compose the scene, shape its surfaces, design the movement and make it interactive. Orbital puts the creative workflow first, with AI assistance and publishing options alongside it.

Inside the visual editor

Frame the experience.

Set how a visitor can rotate, zoom and pan. Refine the camera directly, and choose limits that support the composition you designed.

From composition to interaction

Your visual workflow, in one studio.

Design capability01

Compose the scene visually

Select and arrange objects, set the camera, and refine the composition in a browser-based workspace. Start with the visual result you want to create.

Design capability02

Shape materials and lighting

Work with material presets, roughness, metalness, transmission, lights and effects. Make the finish serve the scene, and inspect it from your final camera angle.

Design with materials
Design capability03

Design motion and interaction

Use the timeline, camera views, states, triggers and hotspots to guide attention. Build a product story, a responsive visual or a scene that invites exploration.

Plan a camera sequence
Design capability04

Publish in the form your project needs

Share a published viewer, embed the scene into a website, or use asset and code exports for a wider workflow. Choose the delivery method after the design takes shape.

Explore publishing

AI assistance. Your creative direction.

Ask Orbi to help explore a material or scene change, then inspect and refine the result with visual controls. Materials, lighting, camera and motion remain design decisions you can make directly. AI access depends on your account and plan.

Compare tools with the same creative brief.

If you are considering Orbital and Spline, build a small version of the same project in both. Check the material you need, the motion you want, your interaction requirements and the final publishing format. Review current plans and limits before deciding. This page does not claim that the tools have identical features or that one replaces every workflow in the other.

A useful test is an interactive product scene: compose an opening view, refine its finish, add a camera transition and publish it on a mobile test page. Evaluate how comfortably you can design and refine the result.

Design first. Deliver your way.

A designer can publish an interactive scene without starting with application code. When a project needs developer involvement, React exports and asset handoff provide additional options. Code is a delivery choice, not the definition of the product.
