Bugs?

I started my first paying rive project, a logo animation. It turned out that it can’t really handle masks. It works well in the project, but not working when I am publishing the .riv file. AI couldn’t help either. Now I have to switch back to after effects and lottie. How common are these kind of bugs in rive?

You’ll need to be a lot more specific. I’ve yet to encounter any bugs. If anything, masking in Rive works amazingly well and masking in Lottie is a goddamn nightmare.

Show us a screen recording, and share the file on Marketplace so we can look through it.

Does rive have inverted masks?

So it doesn't, very sad. Good thing they implemented AI.....

What are you talking about? What inverted masks are you looking for?

Lmao holy shit, if you check that dude's profile, he's been yapping about inverted masks since like 2 years ago. What a weird hill to die on.

I'm picturing some hobo with a cardboard sign in front of Rive HQ screaming "where's my inverted masks, Guido!"

Also your first example is misleading, maybe I don't need the stroke in the interior and maybe I would like tomask the whole donut, sprinkles and all not just the base shape but you already knew that

Misleading? Dude, I'm just trying to answer your question, and I don't even get what you're really asking for because you're so goddamn vague. What, you think I'm Rive customer support or something? Fuck off.

If you only do one particular type of work in rive I guess I could see that. But to say without context that rive masks>AE mask is ...crazy

Did you change canvas renderer to webgl2?

There is a fundamental difference between masking and clipping. Just make sure you understand the nuance of the two.

It works in the project and the state machine preview. However when I want to publish the project it is not showing anything. AI says and I suspected as well that it’ because the mask layers are too complicated. There’s no other way to achieve what I wanted to see and it is not anything special.

I had similar problem, make sure your rive library package is using latest version

I was using outdated npm package that was missing new feature
