Hoot!

We’ve been diving into the world of Rive to explore how interactivity can reshape character animation. As part of this R&D journey, Oliver the Owl became our first test subject—pushing the limits of what’s possible with real-time design.

From creating the character inside Rive, to rigging bones, connecting joysticks, and layering animation timelines, we set out to see how far we could stretch the platform’s capabilities. This is just the beginning. We’re excited to keep experimenting and discovering new ways interactivity can bring characters to life in unexpected and playful ways.

What is Rive? Rive is an application that combines a design editor with runtimes to create and implement interactive 2D animations and UIs in real-time for apps, websites, and games. We look forward to using this new set of tools to bring product demos and presentations to life. Reach out to us to discuss how we can implement this into your next project!
