## About this tutorial

☀️ Update: Spline UI has improved, and we have now introduced the concept of Actions that allow much more time for interactions. Within the event panel, the previous "Objects" section is now called Transition (which is an action). Make your transition action go from Current (Base State) to State.
 
Hi! In this tutorial, you will learn how to create and add motion/animation to a 3D blob using Spline materials and the state transitions.
