Well thats fun
I couldn't just stand aside and not join in on the fun of this character challenge. So let me share this mesh animation I did a while back for the Stompers app. These guys have an incredible creative direction and really fun app design. I had a blast animating these characters and hope you'll enjoy watching it.
Looks great! Curious about the choice to go with mesh. I tend to avoid it, had some bad experiences with crashes and performance, so I usually stick to vectors š
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.
