This is Bob, a fully interactive Rive character who decided to register himself in the Rive Interactive Character Challenge :)
For this project, I handled the vectorizing, rigging, animation, and the full state machine architecture: visemes mapped to speech, expressions, triggers, and outfit swaps, all built to scale from a single .riv file.
Bob lives inside the Ctuber app. You type a script, tag the animations with a few buttons, and the app builds the full talking video on its own, AI voiceover included. Type something different, and he reacts differently. The app was built by the Ctuber team, and they were kind enough to let me use it to produce some of these videos.
Funny how a challenge makes you finish something you'd been sitting on. Glad this one did.

"Really impressive work. One thing that stands out is that you've designed the character as a reusable system, not just a one-off animation, that's what makes it scalable and valuable."
I am so glad you did this. This is ultra cool.
Bob has way more personality than most animated mascots. 😄

Got an Honorable Mention in the Rive x Contra Interactive Character Challenge 😍
Not sure how Bob feels about this, but I'm so happy to have been part of it and grateful for all the love from the community. Huge thanks to the Rive and Contra teams, and congrats to everyone who submitted, the bar was seriously high.
Already looking forward to the next character challenge to justify my need to keep producing silly content 😂

Congrats Manu! Bob was really a great kind of submisson!
Hi everyone! 👋
I built a Men's Single Sculls Live Score Concept for the @Rive × @Contra Broadcast & Livestream Challenge.
The idea was inspired by the atmosphere of the FIFA World Cup and the energy of Norwegian rowing fans cheering their athletes down the course. I wanted to bring that same excitement into a live broadcast experience for rowing.
Built with Rive Scripting, Data Binding, and nested View Models, the interface reacts instantly to live race data without manual animation.
Would love to hear what you think! 🚣👇
Lovely! 👏🏼
Woah
