Experiments with Rive—Stocking Anarchy (Panty & Stocking) Expansion Sequence [Animated Gif]

Finders keepers...mothers weepers? Something like that...

As promised, here is an expansion sequence for Stocking Anarchy. As you can see, I tried animating as many aspects of the scene as I could, to get to grips with the software but also to see how much it could handle. It turns out...not that much...

The expansion sequence was the longest and most complex animation here, and the software seemed to handle it well. However, when it came to exporting the expansion, every file it gave me was empty. Too many keyframes! Lesson learned. I'll have to focus on multiple angles I stitch together rather than trying to do everything in one sequence.

Hopefully a future update will allow exports at a higher quality than 720p, but for now, this is the best I can output. Rive is still very fun to use, so I look forward to making more animations in it! And I can also revisit this in the future if Rive gets more power under the hood.

That's enough outta me. Time to get to work on the YCEH animation. TTFN!
