Rive 2D Character Animation
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a lightweight 2D character animation built directly in Rive for my app & website. The piece should feel lively yet remain small enough to load instantly on both desktop and mobile.
You’ll handle everything inside Rive—rigging, key-posing, and setting up a simple State Machine so I can trigger different loops (idle, jumping, sleeping) from my front-end later. Clean layer naming and tidy artboards are important because I may revisit the file for future tweaks.
Deliverables
• Fully rigged .riv file with interactive states
• Web embed snippet (Rive JS) plus quick setup notes
• Short MP4 or GIF preview for sign-off
Acceptance criteria
• Smooth motion at 60 fps with no visible glitches
• Final .riv asset stays under 500 KB
• Embeds and plays correctly when tested in the Rive web player
If you’ve shipped similar web-ready character work before, please link to it so I can gauge style and performance.
