Guido and Luigi on School of Motion podcast YouTube video by Rive

Scripting isn’t just for engineers.
@guido.rive.app and @luigi.rive.app sit down with @schoolofmotion.bsky.social to explain how designers—and whole product teams—can use Scripting to build better interactive experiences ▶️

Rive for Unity is now live in the Unity Asset Store.

With it, you can build:
1️⃣ Production-ready UI: responsive layouts, localized animated text, data binding, lists, virtualized scrolling

2️⃣ 2D games: skeletal animation, mesh deformations, inverse kinematics, raster + vector

React Native runtime v0.1.5 is out!
✅ Data Binding Lists, Images, Artboards, and all properties
📖 Scripting support
🪆 Nested ViewModel access (viewModel, replaceViewModel)
🛠 useRiveProperty now reads the initial value correctly

Scripting is live in Rive YouTube video by Rive

Scripting is live in Rive. ✨
This is the creative freedom Flash gave designers and developers working together — rebuilt for modern platforms, without the plugin. And because Rive’s runtime and format are open-source, it's not going anywhere.

Wrapped-style recaps look like marketing, but they behave like product UI: localization, device constraints, last-minute changes, real data.
