Feed the hungry cat!
For my first Rive project I wanted to create a cat that reacts to being fed. 3 States: like, dislike and confused. The animation was made with different state machines, bone structure, UI panel and sound on triggers.
It was a learning curve coming from a non-coding background After Effects animator, but I really like toe potential Rive has to offer when it comes to interactivity.
No go and feed the cat, he's hungry.

I called him earlier - nice guy! We mainly spoke about AI, he had some interesting insights...

"I called him earlier, nice guy" 😭 Bowie stargazing on a rooftop is such a vibe. The personality comes through instantly — that's hard to pull off with animation. Love this 🔥
Entering Somying into the Rive Interactive Character Challenge!
Somying is a project I've been building over time — not just a character that plays an animation and calls it a day, but one with her own little world that users can actually interact with.
Inside the room, everything is designed to be interactive — from clicking and dragging to gamepad support, with real-time clock references that automatically shift the room's atmosphere from day to night.
The character, animations, and all interactive systems are built entirely in Rive. The code side was developed with AI assistance to handle the integration and communication with Rive.
Give it a try

Room atmosphere shifting from day to night based on real-time clock?? 👀 Somying literally lives in her world, not just plays an animation. Gamepad support on top of that is wild. Trying this now 🔥
I built an assistant character in Rive that's wired into the product's actual state — not a loop on top of the UI, but a face that responds in real time. It blinks and breathes while idle, leans in the moment you start typing, jumps when the answer lands and winces when something goes wrong.
Every expression is driven by data binding, so the character mirrors what the assistant is actually doing — part of the product, not a sticker on top of it.
