I wanted to see if it’s possible to build a complete game using only @rive.app no external code, just pure state machines, data bindings, and nested artboards. Spoiler: It works. Here’s how I did it 👇🕹️🔥#Rive Killer music by @davogm.bsky.social

I stumbled into Substack’s podcast-making capability, so now KEYS & CURVES has short quickcasts where I take a walk and record my musing on animation and motion design topics weekly. Today’s topic? Animated anthologies and why maybe we should be making our own? 🤔 open.substack.com/pub/keysandc...

Animated anthologies are all the rage, but where are OURS?

Testing the waters! Wanted to see if my skills from other 3D software would translate to Blender, and this beginner course by the awesome Nikolay Naydenov on character creation (based on the beautiful art of Deema Egorov) was perfect. #Blender3D #Blender #3DSculpting #CharacterDesign

Water Ripples in Unreal Engine. Don’t sleep on @unrealengine.bsky.social Dev community site, it has really good tutorials on how to do motion graphics with unreal. I found this great tutorial by Michael Neely on how to do this animation only with the Material Graph.

1/2 🧵 @rive.app’s Tutorial Update: I initially intended to create a simple game to serve as a tutorial for Rive Animation in Game UI. However, work got in the way, and I found myself getting carried away with the coding aspect. The game is now complete…

Dave Gamez @davegamez.com · 15/01/2025

The game code is complete; now it's time for the @rive.app part to work on UI design and animation. ✌️ Have you used Rive for game UI yet? #MadeWithRive #MadeWithUnity
