## About this tutorial

Today we will walk you through our newest feature, Shape Blend in Spline. Together we will create smooth shapes using primitives, apply materials, colors, and operations like union, subtraction, and intersection. We are excited to share this new feature with you! 

Note: Shape Blend is not yet available for iOS/Android exports, it is coming soon. 

As mentioned, we have some other videos for you:
