📝 Description

This course is designed to take you from zero to hero in Rive. You’ll start by getting comfortable with the Rive interface and its design tools, learning how to create and manipulate shapes and paths. We’ll cover everything from basic fills and strokes to more advanced concepts like clipping, groups, and importing external assets.

The real magic happens when we dive into animation. You’ll learn to rig characters with bones and IK, use powerful constraints to control movement, and build intricate animations using the timeline. A major focus is on creating interactive experiences with the state machine, where you’ll learn to set up transitions, inputs, and listeners to make your designs come alive. We also touch upon the newer data binding features, allowing for dynamic and data-driven animations.
