Why Rive?Rive allows you to create interactive experiences that are unlike anything else. You can create animations that react to mouse position, microphone input, user text input, scroll behavior, and external data sources. Anything you can think of can be done with Rive's editor and runtime code. Master the interactive animation tool that companies like Duolingo, Figma, Brilliant, and Metafy use to bring their websites and products to life. Innovative creators are adopting Rive due to its powerful state machine and runtime libraries that allow you to create interactive experiences that run everywhere. Whether your background is in design, animation, web development, or something else entirely, we'll combine these skills to produce custom interactions that will surprise and delight your website visitors. Through instructor-led workshops and individual course projects, you will master Rive:🎨 - Design &amp; Animate modes🦴 - Bones, constraints, and meshes🔤 - Text animation and runtime updates🧩 - Animated "components" with nested artboards🧠 - State Machine inputs, listeners, and logic🔉- Events for sound, URLs, and advanced integrations&lt;&gt; - JS runtime implementation (no prior JS experience needed)🤏 - How to keep your Rive file sizes tiny and performant. If you can imagine it, you can create it with Rive.
