I just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm Scotty, a Designer/Illustrator/Animator from the UK and I've just started an interactive learning project and have just been introduced to Rive (mind blown).

I've always used Illustrator and After Effects to create animation but this lacked the interactive element that this project requires so I'm SO excited to start using it.

I'm in the process of watching video tutorials and Rive is just looking better and better.

How have you guys found the transition from Ae over to Rive and are there and obvious pro's and con's I need to be aware of?

Anyhow, it's great to be part of the Rive community and I can't wait to start creating!

EDIT... The more I'm looking at it, it looks a lot like Macromedia Flash from back in the day so it seems VERY familiar already.

It obviously is more advanced than Flsh and the State Machine has replaced having to use code.

HAPPY DAYS!

I am kinda old programmer and I consider myself an amateur designer but I have some experience in Blender (and other older softwares). I've made 3D and 2D animations there. Recently I accepted a project to develop a game and the artist works with vector graphics that I would love to use in the animations for the game. So I started working on Unreal Engine 4 with fbx models but sadly I could never get it to compile for Android so finally I gave up. That's how I've found Defold and in the docs they mention to Rive and here we go :) Unfortunately Defold at the moment has many problems to work with Rive, I believe it's not ready yet so I joined the forums to ask y'all about your experience with game engines, what engine do you recommend to use with vector animations in rive that is really working and ready to use. (If you consider I should post this question directly in Support section please let me know) Thanks!!

Hi!

I'm Sameer, founder of Kidzovo, an interactive learning platform for kids. Ours is a primarily app based platform and we build our app using Flutter.

We decided to use Rive when we were looking for a solution to animate our mascot. In fact our earliest prototypes used an avatar from the community.

Here to learn from the community and level up our usage of Rive.

Hey all, my name is Ian Crane. I'm the Senior Motion Creative at GrandArmy in NYC.

We are slowly adopting Rive and planning to incorporate it into a few client projects and our case-studies.
Love having a digital meeting zone for Rive users like this. Would love to meet some NYC based users!

Hola amigo JC love you

Been doing pro motion design and animation with After Effects for almost 15 years (as well as some hobbyist Unity/game dev tinkering).

Rive has made me feel about After Effects the way Figma made me feel about Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign. FINALLY, there seems to be a genuine new solution to so many of the ways motion design has felt limited in the AE workflow for decades.

I am loving the state machine/interactive capabilities, and the way Rive separates out the design side from the animation side, while tricky at first, became intuitive and obvious after a short amount of time.

I'm excited to see how Rive grows and develops in the near future and plan to really put it through its paces with my motion work.

Hi, I'm Potato Imaginator and I'm a Youtuber, Animator, Mathematician and Programmer.

I like to make Animations and I'm pretty new to Rive

Some of the Rive Animations i made are:

I've been drawing since I was a kid and have been developing for almost 20 years. I do it all, but interactive motion is my favorite so Rive is right up my alley. Here's a WIP of one of my drawings in motion: https://www.lancesnider.com/dev/case-studies/seagulls

Hi everyone! I'm Hossain from Bangladesh. I've been a motion designer using After effects for many years. I have been following Rive for 3 years now and Its been an impressive journey! Learning as the new features come out. Trying to make cool things in a new way.

Hi all. Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm Mark and a Senior UI Designer for a London UK based UXD agency. Currently they don't use tools such as Rive, very much still just all in Figma. However, I am the guy there really pushing motion and interaction more in our work and to our clients, to take the work to another level. It's challenging but the fun side of design. I really applaud everyone at Rive, as it's so good to use, even though I'm in the early stages of learning but I can't wait to see what they do next with it.

Hello! I'm Chris, and I'm the lead designer for Support Class, a design agency that focuses on broadcast graphics and interactive audience experiences for competitive events, live sports, and charity events.

We've used Rive for dynamic components in our graphics packages and have been excited about the possibilities since we first learned about the software. Congrats to the team for all the success they've had growing the platform over the past few years!
