Animated multipoint gradients & gradient-driven type distortion in Cavalry 1.5
Today we gonna look intro creation of two effects driven by 🌈 multipoint gradients in Cavalry .

Multipoint gradients are quite unique in a motion design area and in a traditional design tools.
Part 1. Introduction to Multipoint gradients
I will show basic things we can do with them and we will proceed to a more complex setup.
We will replicate cover title setup I used in the beginning. We will use a Custom Shape technique to instance copies, will make Nulls to control position of gradient stops as well as Math2 Utility to apply motion in a certain area.
Part 2. Gradient-driven Type distortion
Time to swirl your typeface
We will use Distortion Filter but will drive it with Multipoint gradient in a Blend Shader. We will tweak its look through already known techniques.
