Learning Cavalry
I’ve been slowly getting into Cavalry as an alternative to After Effects. It’s not a full swap, but for procedural and looped animations, it’s good fun. The rendering is way faster, and tweaking parameters to quickly test ideas feels much more fluid than AE ever did.
That said, it’s still a learning curve. I keep using After Effects shortcuts out of muscle memory, and the way timing works takes a bit of adjustment.
I’ve been posting a few experiments and personal projects over on Instagram @auld.co if you’re curious.
