  • rive-wasm

    Wasm/JS runtime for Rive

  • "I'm not sure if Rive's renderer is open source though."

    I did not follow Rive yet (but will do now), but it seems the renderer is MIT licenced, here the wasm/js renderer:

    https://github.com/rive-app/rive-wasm/blob/master/LICENSE

    OPen source renderer would be the requirement for me to invest into it (not gonna fall for flash again).

  • vello

    An experimental GPU compute-centric 2D renderer.

  • thorvg

    Thor Vector Graphics is a lightweight portable library used for drawing vector-based scenes and animations including SVG and Lottie. It can be freely utilized across various software platforms and applications to visualize graphical contents.

  • Please have a look at this one: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg.
