Rive - Animated Dog Translate Feature

UNIQO Lab contacted me to animate another dog for one of their app's translation features.

The animation showcases a dog that "translates" spoken words by barking.

The dog has three states: idle, bark once, and bark twice.

Each state is designed to transition smoothly back to idle once the animation completes.

The design was provided by the client.

I was given the flexibility to modify the design as needed.

To enhance the dog's lively personality, I made subtle adjustments—adding eye reflections and extending the tongue to create a more expressive tongue-out look.

Next, I created a rough draft in Adobe Illustrator, showing different poses for each state to establish a clear foundation for the animation.

This is the final animation result!

Note: The buttons shown below were not part of the final deliverable—they are included here only to demonstrate the transition between states.

Thank you so much for checking out my work! 😊
