We consider the linear space of piecewise polynomials in three variables which are globally smooth, i.e., trivariate $C^1$ splines. The splines are defined on a uniform tetrahedral partition $\Delta$, which is a natural generalization of the four-directional mesh. By using Bernstein-B{\´e}zier techniques, we establish formulae for the dimension of the $C^1$ splines of arbitrary degree.
