Rive 101 - Procedural Shapes

This lesson explores Procedural Shapes in Rive, which include rectangles, ellipses, triangles, polygons, and stars. Unlike custom paths, procedural shapes come with unique properties like corner radius, number of points, and specific inner/outer radius controls. The lesson also demonstrates how to convert these shapes into custom paths for advanced vertex editing.

  • Size vs. Scale: Always prefer adjusting Width and Height for layout, and use Scale for animation or overall transformations.
  • Irreversibility: Once a shape is converted to a custom path, you lose properties like the ability to change the number of star points dynamically.
  • Inner Radius: The inner radius percentage on stars is a powerful way to create everything from sharp sunbursts to soft floral shapes.
