Created this animation using Rive Scripting. I wanted to go beyond flat 3D-looking shapes and build a custom 3D form with gradient textures, also generated through scripting. Small deliberate practice project, but a useful one.

Hello everyone. For the Impossible UI Rive Challenge, I decided to go with an interactive skeleton juggling 5 fireballs with particle effects. Each being a clickable button that triggers podium text changes.

I had so much fun doing this one. I hope you'll like it too.

That is actually pretty cute and smooth. Well done!

Hey everyone, Emrah here, with one last entry for #ImpossibleUIwithRive in Contra, before we leave for the weekend. Just to mention, everything is done in Rive, to explore my limitations with it, this is also my learning process of the software.

This is the final piece I’m adding to my S·PEN. In this part, I explored a live terrain-like data visualization system, built entirely in 2D but driven by three different real-time data sources. By layering and synchronizing these feeds, the system creates a pseudo-3D surface that reacts dynamically on screen.

To achieve this, I built three separate logic systems to control dot-based animations at different scales, each contributing to depth, motion, and distortion. The result is a constantly evolving surface that feels spatial, alive, and slightly unpredictable.

This addition pushes the project further into what I was aiming for from the start:

"something visually precise, but intentionally difficult to implement"

Between: *multi-layered time-based animations *pseudo-3D anatomical visuals *and this live data terrain system The whole experience leans into controlled chaos. Just wanna also thx to whole Rive community, while I'm still learning the software, they help me to solve my issues and answer my questions when I stucked in technical aspects.
