Effects (Shadows, Glows, Blurs)#364

Ability to add effects on drawables and groups. Similar to what we had in the old Rive.

Hi Guido, any update on this?

Any news?

Absolute must. Modern design just cannot do without these effects.
Aso merge #335 that mentioned BackDropFilter. I’m looking forward to this feature!

Hi Rive team - was watching a great video from 2019 of two guys demo-ing stuff that showed great use of effects/blurs etc in Rive. When will these be back? Are they indeed coming back?

New version came out now but still no effects? What a pity… I was so excited.

A new version comes out almost every day! :) This is still important to us and will be coming in the future.

Modern design definitely won’t look good without Shadow, Blur, Glow and backdrop Filter, please add these.
Thank you.

This is the third most requested item but there’s no update on how far you guys are with it!? it’s not even in progress or planned. Please let us know.

still no effects yet, seriously?

Have been waiting for this so long

I too would love to see these effects, but it’s good to keep in mind that @Guido Rosso and others who work for Rive are human beings :)

@Nate Wilson exactly, That’s why we are all patience ❤️ Rive

A response would be great on this

We hear you!

We appreciate the enthusiasm for Rive that our current (and future) customers continue to show! We also recognize the frustration that some folks are experiencing while waiting for certain features like effects to make it into the platform. The reality of product development is that some “obviously-you-need-this” features will be lower on the overall list of priorities, which also means it can be difficult to predict when such features will move over onto Engineering’s To Do list. Do we plan to add effects at some point? Absolutely; you want this, our designers want this, and a fully-mature design tool needs this. Do we have a rough release timeframe that we feel comfortable sharing? Sorry, not at this time.
