Hover animation made with Rive. Smooth, playful, and interactive.
A sphere of water that breathes with you: rings pull in as you breathe in, swell while you hold, flow out as you let go. It's all one Rive file, running live, not a video.
A WGSL shader in Rive's GPU Canvas draws the water and a state machine switches idle, listening, thinking and speaking. Data binding feeds it the voice level every frame, pointer listeners leave a wake and drop a ring where you tap. Built with Claude Code through the Rive CLI, sound by ElevenLabs. Still exploring: maybe a meditation app next :)
So, so cool!

Make him walk?👌 Run? Laugh? Cry?🫶 Swap the hat? Talk?🫡
I built one character for an open-source Mac AI app. It shows what each AI agent is doing (thinking, writing code, searching), and new moods, outfits, and even species can be added without rebuilding it.
51 animations. 3 characters. 1 file. Built in Rive, so it lives inside the app and reacts to what the app is doing.
Open for AI product and mascot projects. 🦖
