Mainframe, a motion design and VFX studio based in London, has launched a free public beta of its new motion design software, Cavalry. Cavalry is designed as a procedural application with the goal of competing with established animation, design, creative coding, film, generative art, data visualization, experiential, and advertising software. To streamline complex animation creation, it offers several preset actions that can be combined to automate common tasks efficiently. These actions are known as Behaviors. Its features include toolsets for controlling animations with external data from .csv files or live data from Google Sheets, along with duplication and distribution tools for grids and layouts, animated type tools, GPU acceleration, and more.
