Playing with the Cogwheel (Gear) and some maths. It’s the same two cogwheels but their teeth and radius attributes are connected via some maths so that as they increase/decrease they stay ‘meshed’.

Best Behaviour
Whether it’s voxelising shapes, deforming along paths or oscillating position values, Behaviours are Cavalry’s ingredients to your creative recipes. Mix them together or spread them on multiple Elements to generate beautiful and interesting effects.
Just your Type
Create dates, strings and values and then join, scramble or replace characters with ease. Deform text along a path or use Falloffs to animate ‘per character’ positions. Along with Variable font support, text animation is limitless.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the early Cavalry beta today, and I’ve been having a blast messing around with it. It’s a fun tool to learn and use, and I’m really curious to see how it develops - feels like it’s got the potential to be a real game changer!

I could repost anything the @cavalry__app team is sharing at this point, just bonkers amazing stuff coming from them! So excited for this tool.

The SINGLE MOST EXCITING development to occur in motion design in the last 3 years: the developers of MASH are cooking up a new animation tool. Is this really happening? For really reals?

Essentially the way I describe it is, it’s a 2D tool. It’s designed to do a lot of the things After Effects does, but it’s built more like Cinema 4D where you create procedural systems and it’s really cool. It’s really fun to play with.

@cavalry__app This is a paradigm shift! Looking forward to see what more people will do with it when you release it into the world!

That’s all I use AE for these days anyway, haven’t animated in it for years. Cannot wait for @cavalry__app either, never before has a program been more aptly named.

I admire the dedication @cavalry__app is putting in, and at this point I’m just looking to support a developer that can listen to the community and make moves based on that

Motion designers have been starving. What’s worse, is that most don’t even know that they’ve been dying this whole time. Then along comes Cavalry, an app that shows everyone what is possible in a 2D animation application designed for motion designers and animators — And the tidbits that we’ve already seen of Cavalry has already made an enormous impact.
