The Complete Cavalry Guide
There are 2 ways to use this template:
1/ Cavalry Guide. As I’m going to update the database once a month you will have access to all the latest tutorials and articles, inspiration, and resources as soon as it’s released. If you’re planning to use this template simply as a guide you don’t need to duplicate it into your Notion space, in fact, you don’t even need a Notion account and you can access it as you would do with the website through the link. This way is the easiest, though you won’t be able to add your own notes, tutorials, project files or use some features like tasks, ideas, brain dump, etc.
2/ Guide + Workbook. I wanted to give you an opportunity to duplicate this template into your Notion account and use it as your workbook, edit, add your own things, etc the way I do it. In this case, there are some technical details with adding new updates to your copy of Notion due to its limitations. Once you’ve duplicated this template inside your Notion you created your own set of databases that no one else can edit but you. So it’s not possible to push updates automatically, you’ll need to duplicate an updated copy of the template once a month and move new tutorials/project files/notes to your Notion copy. There is a full instruction on how to do it inside the template.
What does the Cavalry Guide include:
- Building blocks - information on each behavior/utility/shape/effect with all the related tutorials, project files, and notes. There is also an indication if you can find an example tutorial inside for each particular behavior.
- Shortcuts - a handy reminder of all the shortcuts + setup to save your custom ones.
- Tutorials - I’ve watched hundreds(!) of tutorials for you and sorted them based on the level, whether you can use it with the free version or not, what building blocks are related to the tutorial, etc.
- Resources - links for all the useful stuff about Cavalry
- Interface - information on different interface features sourced from documentation. You can also cross-reference this database with tutorials or notes.
- Project Files - selected project files for you to study, sorted by different authors, sources, utilities, etc. (Important! Actual project files are removed from the template to respect copyrights, but there is a link for each one where you can download it for free, you can also upload it into the database if you want. The exception is the tutorial files from the official cavalry YouTube channel which I’ve recreated following instructions)
- Inspiration - links to artists that create beautiful work and can help inspire your next Cavalry project
- Notes - I often find bits & pieces that can be helpful in the future and save them here so they won’t get lost.
- Knowledge - selection of articles related to Cavalry
- Tasks - when I need to unload my brain from some ideas of what I want to learn or try in Cavalry, I add them to the tasks section to remember that I need to watch that tutorial on Image Sampler or learn about Dynamic Rendering. It can also help you track your progress and remember what you’ve been doing/learning and when.
- Ideas - ideas for some of my future projects related to Cavalry
- Brain Dump - brain dump, duh! if I don’t have time to sort and organize new info I just dump it here
