This project is an interactive bowling website built with a mix of 3D elements and a clean, simple layout. Instead of treating the site like a typical business page, I wanted it to feel playful and hands-on. The hero section features a full 3D bowling lane made in Spline, where visitors can click the ball and send it rolling into the pins. There are also small interactive moments in other sections, like pins you can move around. The whole site is meant to be something people enjoy exploring, not just reading.

The idea was to create a website that feels energetic and fun without being messy or overwhelming. I wanted the visuals, colors, and interactions to feel light and inviting. The 3D lane acts as the main focal point, it gives the site personality right from the start and shows what the brand is about in a way that feels natural and playful.

I built the ball, pins, lanes, and surrounding objects directly in Spline. The style is intentionally simple and cartoon like so everything feels friendly and easy to understand at a glance. This keeps the scene from feeling cluttered while still making it interesting.

To make the experience more engaging, I added a few small interactions throughout the site:

The ball in the hero scene rolls when clicked.

Pins react when hit.

Pins in other sections can be moved around for fun.

They’re small touches, but they give the site a bit of life and make it more memorable.

I used light camera motion and gentle animations to keep the 3D scenes from feeling static. Nothing is overly dramatic, just enough movement to make the page feel active when you land on it.

The interface uses soft colors, rounded edges, and simple icons to match the feel of the 3D visuals. The goal was to make everything easy to navigate while keeping the design clean. Even with the 3D elements, the layout stays straightforward so users can find what they need without any friction.

The lighting setup focuses on soft shadows and subtle reflections to give the scene some depth. I didn’t aim for hyper-realism, just enough detail for the 3D elements to feel polished and consistent with the rest of the site’s style.

The result is a website that mixes traditional layout design with real-time 3D interaction. Visitors can play around with the bowling elements, watch the pins fall, and discover small interactive details as they move through the page. It’s fun to use, visually light, and has a clear identity.

Working on this helped me sharpen my Spline modeling and animation skills, and it taught me how to balance interactive elements with performance and usability on the web.
