@Muizz - Webflow & Spline Expert ✅ this is an incorrect comparison; the two tools complement each other within the pipeline. Create and prepare the 3D assets in Blender, then animate and deploy them for the web using Spline.
Great point on the pipeline. The Blender → Spline workflow is definitely powerful, but it often introduces friction with file optimization and texture baking for the web.
I framed it as a 'choice' because I see a lot of web devs, myself included struggling to optimize Blender...
spline for quick web prototypes all day! the learning curve is way gentler
Agreed! It’s basically the Figma of 3D, perfect for shipping ideas fast without the headache 🤝
Spliiine! It makes 3D accessible to non-3D pros 💖
Exactly! 🚀 3D for everyone is the future of the web. Love seeing it happen
Spline
BLENDER
It really comes down to the output! For web-native interactivity and quick Webflow integration, Spline is unbeatable. But if I am going for high-fidelity modeling and complex lighting, Blender is still the industry powerhouse. Hard to pick just one!
True! Though I’m finding that visual gap is closing fast. With Spline’s recent lighting updates, I’m staying in the browser more often. But for complex modeling? Blender is still unmatched.
