This project was created as part of a Spline Holiday Challenge, where I decided to draw inspiration from Nigerian holiday celebrations and reimagine them as an interactive virtual experience.

I designed and created all the characters from scratch, then built and arranged the entire 3D environment using Spline. From there, I focused on crafting the interaction flow—defining how users engage with the scene and what happens with each click, ensuring every action triggers a playful and meaningful response.

Although this project didn’t win the challenge, it became a valuable learning experience. I gained hands-on experience building a complete scene from scratch in Spline, and more importantly, I learned the importance of optimization. Through trial and error, I discovered how using fewer elements and a more controlled color palette significantly improves performance and overall usability of interactive scenes.

This project reflects both my creative exploration and my growth in building efficient, interactive 3D experiences.
