Averi.ai came to us with a vision: build the creative system of record for modern marketing teams. A product that blends AI, brand context, and human creativite all in one workspace.
What they didn’t have yet was a digital presence that felt like the product itself and that’s where I stepped in.
Hi Daniel,
Trust you are doing great. Been following for a while now
Well done boss, you’re doing so amazing.
I’m new here and if I may ask, Do you get all your clients here? If yes, how did you make it happen? Also, any tips on how to stand out here and attract clients?
Thank you. I look forward to your response
I wanted to see if Midjourney V8.2 could pull off a very specific crossover.
BoJack Horseman and Rick Sanchez, sitting at a bar.
But with one little switch: Rick’s portal gun in BoJack’s hand, and the Bojack's poison in Rick’s.
I wanted to visualize the scene where the liquids that began their slip into darkness exchanged between them.
So I gave V8.2 the characters, a few references, and increasingly specific action items.
Watching it work its way toward the image in my head was honestly the fun part, specially when it got one thing right and somehow broke three others. 😂
What impossible crossover would you try?
This looks absolutely fabulous! And what a niche and personal concept to build on🫶🏻
Built a 3D model viewer inside @Rive .
Not a plugin, not an embed — an actual glTF renderer running on @Rive 's GPU Canvas, written in Luau and WGSL, living inside the .riv file.
Drop in a .glb and it loads, lights, animates and orbits. Every control is a data-bound property, so the whole scene is drivable from a state machine, a timeline, or app code. Nothing is hardcoded to one model.
What's in it:
• glTF parsing written from scratch — Luau has no JSON library, so the decoder is hand-rolled
• PBR shading (Cook-Torrance GGX) with key/fill/rim lighting
• Skeletal skinning, 128-joint palette
• Rigid node animation with full keyframe interpolation
• Orbit camera with per-axis locks
• Auto-fit, so any model frames correctly regardless of authored scale
• ~40 data-bound properties: camera, transform, material, animation
Most of it was built by driving the Rive editor over its MCP server with Claude Code — scripted, not clicked.
Runtime support is nearly there. GPU Canvas landed in the web runtime last week. A couple of scripting APIs still need to follow before this can ship to a live site.
Here is the Github Repo for Instructions: https://lnkd.in/dAMXQJBR
the 3D viewer is so cool. nice work!
