# Use Template Spline Scenes

Spline Control includes ready-made templates that let you start animating immediately, without connecting your own Spline files.

Templates are the fastest way to explore how scroll-based 3D animations work and are ideal for first-time users.

***

### Where to Find Templates

When you select the Spline Control widget on your page, the app panel opens.

At the top of the panel, you will see two tabs:

* **Templates**
* **Custom**

Make sure you are in the **Templates** tab to view the available template scenes.

You will also see the **Settings (gear) icon** in the top-right corner.\
This button is always visible, no matter which tab you are in, and is used later to select objects and adjust animations.

***

### Step 1: Choose a Template

Inside the **Templates** tab, you will see a list of available Spline scenes.

To use a template:

1. Click on any template thumbnail
2. The scene will load automatically inside your page section

No extra confirmation is needed. The selected template becomes active immediately.

***

### Step 2: Preview the Scene on Your Page

Once the template is loaded, you will see the 3D scene directly inside your layout.

You can now:

* scroll the page to preview motion
* resize the section if needed
* adjust layout and spacing around the scene

At this stage, the scene is already connected to scroll, even before you change any animation settings.

***

### Step 3: Open Animation Settings

To control what moves and how it moves:

1. Click the **Settings (gear) icon** in the app panel
2. The object and animation controls will appear

From here, you can select objects and adjust how they react to scroll.\
This is the same process for both templates and custom Spline scenes.

👉 For most templates, we recommend selecting the capslock-named object.\
It is prepared specifically to demonstrate scroll animations.

Detailed animation controls are explained in the [**Scroll Settings**](/interactive-studio/spline-control/get-started/scroll-settings.md) guide.

### When to Use Templates

Templates are great if you want to:

* test Spline Control quickly
* understand how scroll animations behave
* start from a prepared 3D setup
* experiment with layout and pacing

You can also use templates as a base and later replace them with your own Spline scenes when you’re ready.
