--

Scene Group today announced the release of 2D motion design and animation software Cavalry, following a successful Beta phase during which over seventeen thousand artists signed up to experience what a huge industry shift the software represented.

Written by designers for designers, Cavalry combines the power and flexibility of 3d with the ease of use of 2d and is designed to be fast, innovative and procedural, encouraging a connect anything to anything' attitude. All without expressions, all without opening a node editor.

Cavalry is built for speed and it's the real time playback which sets Cavalry apart from its competitors. Whilst innovative, Cavalry doesn't forget the basics, and has a full suite of traditional animation tools which have been redesigned al owing artists to work more quickly than they ever have. Cavalry's unique and powerful engine enables you to create goal oriented workflows with compel ing outcomes in just a few clicks.

Cavalry has already become indispensable to artists working across a wide range of disciplines including Online, Experiential, Social, Film and TV, Installations, OOH, Data Visualisation, Illustration and more.

Scene Group CTO Ian Waters notes: Ever since my days as an animator, I've believed that the power of proceduralism should be at the heart of al professional digital content creation tools, and after seeing a gaping hole at the heart of animation and design workflows we decided to take the plunge and modernise how this work is done in an efficient, realtime, artist friendly and yet incredibly powerful way. We couldn't be more excited at the creative possibilities that Cavalry 1.0 unlocks, and we're just getting started .

Cavalry is now available to download from https://cavalry.scenegroup.co/ as a ful y featured free version with restricted output size and watermark or a professional version at £16 pm/ bil ed annual y.

We'd like to extend a huge thanks to all of you who've shared your tests and experiments during the beta. Seeing the creative ways artists are already using Cavalry never fails to bring a smile to our faces and keeps us motivated to improve and further push our ambitions for the future.
