It's getting kinda mesh-y around here.

We're excited to announce that raster mesh deformations and PSD support are now available in Rive! Import PSD files that retain their layer position, order, and names. Add meshes to your raster graphics and bring your app or website characters, props, buttons, and images to life. Make skin flex, fabric ripple, hair flow, and more.
