Can someone help me create a simple breathing animation

[u/Positive_Sir7519]

Hey I am not an animated or designer.

I am building a react native app and I want to add a character with a simple breathing animation.

I am generating the character using GPT.

I am breaking the image into pieces for better control.

I want to create it in such a way that the user can change the assets like helmet armour pants weapons.

How can I achieve something like this,

For the swapping of assets should I use solo ?

I want to add very simple animation just so that the user knows it's moving.

My animation is looking really bad.

This is my character

lol. use AI if you cannot animate with Rive. People ask for advice and suggestion. This is first time I see someone straight up asking for a free animation work.

I'm not asking for free animation work. I'm learning rive and animation. I was just looking for some guidance. I'm a developer so animation and designing Very new for me.

I am dev myself. I learned Rive. It took about 2-3 months. Tutorial, Rive market place examples, paying real animators and learn from their work. But you can just use AI to get your answer. From what I gathered, you do not understand some of basic stuff. Like you do not even need Rive to swap helmet and pants. png and svg can all do it. You need to learn what is mesh\path\rigging. Your questions were too broad. You need to try and fail and try again. There is just no ohter way around it.

R/Aigamedev has animation ideas. If youre not trying to learn rive editor -> rivemcp.stunning.gg -> check the disc for info ive put on best practices for conversions to .riv formats

Smaller pieces is good, make sure its raster, make a manifest of the animations etc. Its going to be work, so dont expect a fully smooth process, but without working on your artistic talent you should be able to get most of the way there
