One of the best features of Pencil 2D is that its user interface is intuitive and minimalistic. Create stunning animations with the software’s pen, brush and colour tools. This move will mean that all these features (and more) will become unrestricted to use: Pencil 2D is a free and open-source animation software used for doing vector and bitmap animations. We want more people to experience the creative possibilities and time benefits Cavalry offers and so we’re planning on making that easier. Even if you know there are faster ways to get your work done, in the rush of trying to a project out of the door, committing the time to learning is often something for ‘next time’.

It can be challenging to find the time to learn a new piece of software, especially if your days are already spent working on live projects for clients. The main driver behind this change is to make Cavalry more accessible to more people and easier for creatives to get more familiar with the workflows in their day-to-day projects.
