Are there plans to make it possible to use Rive animations with GUI components?

Questions

Is this on the agenda or are there workarounds? I really don’t want to sacrifice using Druid as it’s so useful.

Thanks in Advance !!

This is not a super high priority to be honest. Rive could be considered an alternative to the Defold GUI system to be honest.

Thanks. The Defold GUI system is way too powerful to not be used. I just wish there is a way Rive animations can be supported by it.

I’m backing this. I’d like to use Rive animation with the GUI system as well.

What’s the actual use case? Can you share a bit more? You want a Rive animation aligned with some gui node? You want to interleave a Rive animation with gui nodes in front of and behind? There may be other ways to achieve the same thing if you share exactly what you need.

Yes, I want the Rive animation object to align with the GUI node or be able to interleave the animation in front of or behind the GUI node. my use case right now is to implement a button with Rive animation. I’ve decided to use sprite and game object instead because the document doesn’t mention if it’s possible with GUI or not.

Thanks for explaining your usecase. A sprite and game object is the way to go for now.
