Cavalry 2D Animation Software

Jun 15, 2023 at 12:00 pm by gToon


Cavalry, released in August of 2020 by Scene (a UK company), is advancing the idea of 2D animation using new workflows and advanced technology. 
 
Cavalry is a 2d animation application combining the power and flexibility of 3d with the ease of use of 2d. What stands it apart is that Cavalry is fully procedural. If you’re not sure what that means — in essence, you can always go back and change anything at any point. That might not sound like much, but our approach to proceduralism is pretty radical.
 
If you’re working in Motion Design, Animation or Illustration, then you’re going to like it…a lot.

Making Waves.

By offering methodologies such as deformation, rigging, dynamics, data-driven animation, scattering and instancing we’re beating a path towards a well overdue upgrade for 2d animation. Crucially these will all be native features speaking a common language opening up a limitless array of workflows.

Don’t worry, we’re not forgetting the basics. Cavalry will also include a full suite of traditional animation tools, streamlined and rethought, allowing artists to focus on what they do best. In addition, Cavalry’s procedural backbone encourages a ‘do anything to anything’ attitude. All without expressions, all without opening a node editor.

Cavalry’s unique and powerful engine enables you to create goal-oriented workflows with compelling outcomes in just a few clicks. We’re putting a huge amount of energy into creating a flexible backend that enables us to hit our primary targets; ease of use and ‘getting the software out the way of the artist’.
