I created a Rive character rig of a cat that follows the mouse cursor, loosely based on a tutorial but heavily customized to make it my own. For example, the eye blinks are set to trigger randomly, using a number generated as the mouse moves, making them feel more natural and less mechanically timed. I also added a subtle shadow at the cat’s feet that moves with its head, giving it a more 3D look. I’m really happy with the tracking and would love to see this implemented in other projects or similar characters. I’ve been having a great time working with Rive and hope to see more people incorporating their own custom interfaces. I’ll share more as I continue creating projects.
