Introduction to Cavalry for Motion Graphics

Overview

“If you wish to control the way you can affect an object index you need to understand how it is assigned. In this unit, I’ll show you how Cavalry uses indices to assign attributes to duplicated objects.”

In this video lesson Kyle Daily addresses the topic: Understanding Indices, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 3: Understanding Duplicators. Use Duplicators to add complexity to your motion graphics.

“ COURSE 3 - LESSON 4 Understanding Indices In this lesson, we'll try to understand indices. Each object within a Duplicator is assigned a specific index. This index tells how to be manipulated by certain things, like Behaviours. Once we understand how these indices work, we can start to grasp how to make Cavalry work for us. Let's get started. We will start with a color visualization. We will create an array from this palette. We will apply it directly to the Ellipse Shape. Now you can see that this color array has its own index. 0 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the indices of this array, and these ar...”
