## About this tutorial

Hello! In this video, we guide you on how to create a cartoonish or flat 2D-like effect using Spline.
Check Spline: https://spline.design/

You will also learn how to use outline layers, add color to different sides of an object, and apply animations and interactions.

We also explore applying the 2D look to an object from the Spline library, like a Jordan shoe 👟
