I have a cartoonish character concept that I’d like brought to life in Rive. The character will act as an on-screen AI assistant, so the animation needs to feel friendly, responsive, and expressive. Scope • Build the animation directly in Rive (latest version). • Create state machines or artboards for: – Idle listening stance – Talking with subtle body gestures – A library of interchangeable facial expressions (happy, thinking, surprised, neutral) Technical notes • Movements should loop cleanly and transition smoothly via Rive state triggers. • Keep file lightweight for real-time use inside a embedded browser like chromium. • Deliver the .riv file plus exported GIF/MP4 previews for quick review. I’ll supply the existing character illustration in SVG/PNG. Please let me know your estimated turnaround and share one or two Rive links that highlight comparable talking/gesturing work.

Hi Stefano V., Just last week I completed a similar task successfully, so I can get started on this without any ramp-up time. - Will talking be driven by your app (audio amplitude/phonemes) or should I build a procedural talk loop using boolean isTalking plus optional amplitude param? - What are target artboard dimensions and performance limits for the Chromium embed (max .riv size, mesh/vertex budget), and any brand/accessibility color constraints? - Use a nested state machine: posture layer (Idle/Talk) + an overlay facial-expression enum, blending via layered animations to ensure smooth, interruptible transitions. - Implement lightweight lipsync: 5 visemes + jaw bounce driven by normalized amplitude with temporal smoothing; reuse meshes/components to cut draw calls and file size. Action Plan: - Phase 1: Asset prep — review/clean SVG, name hierarchy, pivots; confirm trigger/parameter schema. - Phase 2: Rigging — bones, constraints, mesh deformers for mouth/eyes/brows; reusable components. - Phase 3: Animation — looping idle and talk gestures; expression library; timing/easing polish. - Phase 4: State Machine — isListening, isTalking, amplitude, expression(enum); transitions, blends. - Phase 5: Review — GIF/MP4 previews; iterate on notes. - Phase 6: Optimize & handoff — vertex reduction, clipping, artboard variants; deliver .riv + integration notes. ETA: 4–6 business days post asset handoff. References: https://rive Best Regards, Sid

Making a cartoon AI assistant feel alive is all about those tiny, well-timed gestures and clean state transitions — that’s where most rigs fall short. I build animations that read as friendly and responsive without costing performance. The best thing about me is I’ve worked on a very similar project recently. I animated an on-screen coach in Rive with idle listening, talking gestures, and a switchable facial-expression library, wired to rive-js for web triggers and optimized the .riv for lightweight Chromium embedding. I understand the user flow: app sends events (listening, speaking, intent states) to Rive; Rive state machines handle transitions and expression swaps; frontend uses rive-js and event hooks to sync audio/tts. I’ll deliver clean looping state machines, interchangeable expression artboards, a lean .riv plus GIF/MP4 previews. Estimated turnaround 3–4 days for 140 EUR. Quick questions: will expressions be driven programmatically per intent or chosen manually by UI? Do you have a max .riv size or target frame-rate for the embedded player? If that sounds good, let’s chat or hop on a quick call to align. Regards Ali Zain!!
