Rive Scripting: How to Make Your Rive Animations Even Smarter Using Converter Scripts
*Want the source files? I put them all in one place with a cheat sheet → rivemasterclass.com/scripting
Making animations “smarter” isn’t about adding more keyframes — it’s about adding logic.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Converter Scripts in Rive to add a logic layer between your ViewModel and your animation. We’ll build a smart sun and moon system that reacts to time, sunrise, and sunset — all driven by data instead of manual animation.

This is a real, production-style example that shows how Converter Scripts let complex logic live directly inside your Rive animations.
In this tutorial you’ll learn:
• What Converter Scripts are and why they matter
• How to connect ViewModel data to Converter Scripts
• How to combine multiple inputs into a single computed value
• How to use Converter Groups correctly
• How to use the Rive AI Agent to generate logic
• How to build data-driven animation systems in Rive
We’ll build a smart solar system where:
• The sun and moon move based on the time of day
• Sunrise and sunset affect the animation dynamically
• One computed angle controls the entire system
• Scripted logic and classic animations work together
This workflow is part of the Rive Masterclass for Designers, where we dive deep into Rive — from the basics to advanced, production-ready animation systems.
