One of my goals this year is to create animated illustrations. Do you all have recommendations for programmatic animation libraries that can animate illustrations (not divs/elements/simple shapes)? I'd use procreate dreams but you cannot configure those with trigger states, so I can't have them be interactive and procreate is not vector based so I can't export a svg 😟

One of the hard parts about this not being associated with a project is I have open ended questions about the scope.

-   Do I need trigger animations for illustrations or is that need coming from data animations?
-   Am I looking for video exports, runtimes (like rive) or svgs?
