I owe you one. A few weeks ago I promised a Duolingo-style button in @rive_app. Parts 1 and 2 stayed inside Rive. But a button that never leaves Rive isn't worth much. Part 3 takes it into a real app 👇 youtu.be/EiwtZH1caIY @rive_app @OPEN_SUNDAY

Learning a new skill is hard. Learning without a structure is harder. Now every milestone gets a badge. Seven in total. Built in @rive_app , with the new 3D. Want to collect them all? 👇 rivemasterclass.com #Rive @OPEN_SUNDAY

This snowman has no bones. Of course it doesn't, it's made of snow. But I mean Bones in @rive_app. That's usually how you keep a character's parts connected. Here it's just 2 Constraints. Full tutorial 👇⛄ youtu.be/gvKZajLdqYc @rive_app @OPEN_SUNDAY

I wasn't home when this @rive_app animation was built. From my phone, I asked an agent for a 3D solar system with the Rive CLI. Never opened the editor. Then I turned the sun in my Scripting Course game from flat to 3D. rivemasterclass.com/blog/riv… #rive #rivecli

The space game is what you build in my Rive Scripting Course 👇 rivemasterclass.com/rive-scr…

Rive Scripting Course: A Space Game with AI, Shaders and 3D

Build a playable space game in Rive, one prompt at a time: stars, a cockpit, asteroids, a fireball shader, a 3D sun. With Rive's agent, MCP or the CLI, no code.

🔥🪐🚀 Fire drawn by a shader. A glitch burst. HIT stamps in real 3D on the cockpit glass. A game that plays itself when nobody's looking. All inside @rive_app. 27 scripts, 3 shaders, one Rive file. Now in my Scripting Course. Play it: rivemasterclass.com/scriptin… 🎲

After a long vacation I am finally diving into @rive_app new GPU Layers and Shaders. Huge shoutout to @TomAccoDesign for this 3D card tutorial. I dissected it a rebuilt a version that redraws the shape of any artboard as well as gives multiple layers and creates depth between the layers. This is only scratching the surface of this type of interaction, but I have been waiting years for this opportunity in Rive and the team did not disappoint. So much more to come. Stay tuned.

The best thing about this lightning effect in my Rive scripting course: I didn't write the script. I just added it to the spaceship. The script is from a free tutorial I made months ago. I build scripts to be reused. That's the course 👇 rivemasterclass.com/scriptin… @rive_app

I waited over a year to do this. Pokémon Pocket's 3D card animation, in @rive_app . GPU Canvas shipped this week, so I built the real thing. Want your face on a 3D Pokémon card? Follow the tutorial and you will 👇 youtu.be/PMLDwM-O05Q #rive #3D

2,000 subscribers 🤯 Three months ago it was 1,000. The Weather Buddies from my Rive Masterclass are holding the number. Hope to come back in three months with a 3 instead of a 2. What should I make next? youtube.com/@RiveMasterclass 🔗 #rive @rive_app

3 shapes. That's the trick behind @duolingo's round button in @rive_app. Almost the same file as last week, with one extra shape and one new technique for the icons. Let's build it together. youtu.be/BOw2zQmsJIk?si #Rive #UIAnimation #MotionDesign

The @duolingo 3D button effect is surprisingly simple 👀 Just one shape + an extra fill. I rebuilt it from scratch in @rive_app, 3D, interactive, and fully dynamic with Data Binding. Full tutorial 👇 youtu.be/6KvFX-IoTgk #Rive

Never thought this day would come... It's been so long since I recorded the first lesson of the Rive Masterclass. 99 lessons and 13 hours of content later, the final lesson is here, and with it a digital certificate 🏅. rivemasterclass.com 🔗 @rive_app

I turned my @rive_app animation into a real app in about 10 minutes. Without writing code. Well, Cursor wrote it. I just told it what to do, and it ran on a simulator with live weather data. Sounds complicated. It's not 👇: youtu.be/kVaWSQIo0ok #Rive #NoCode @cursor_ai

One of my favorite things to do in @rive_app: make a flat scene feel 3D. The twist? It's just State Machine Layers. One animation, different speeds per layer, and your eye fills in the depth. New tutorial + free starter file 👇 youtu.be/-wmu0Lhiayg #rive

Would you believe this entire speed gauge runs inside @rive_app? Needle, readout, motion: three scripts, one speed value. And that same value drives the whole space scene. Just shipped it in my Rive scripting course 👇 rivemasterclass.com/scriptin… #Rive #RiveScripting

You finish a @rive_app animation, then try to post it. You can't. 😅 A .riv doesn't play on X or LinkedIn. So I built a free tool: record it playing, download an mp4. No signup, runs in your browser. Link below 👇 rivemasterclass.com/convert-… #Rive #MotionDesign

I owe you a follow-up. Last time I compared Figma Motion and Rive, I missed one secret feature for moving an object along an exact path 🤫 Who does it better? Full video 👇 youtu.be/-uKtH82pewQ @rive_app #Rive #FigmaMotion #MotionDesign

State machines: no. Cursor tracking: no. Scripting: no. Data binding: no. 4 things @rive_app has that Figma Motion doesn't. At least for now. Still not replacing Rive. Full breakdown 👇: youtube.com/watch?v=JR6vOjBv… #FigmaMotion #Rive #MotionDesign
