Скачать или смотреть Create Text Wrap Effect Around Shapes in Cavalry

In this tutorial, I show how to create text wrap–style effects in Cavalry, similar to what you might be used to from tools like InDesign or Illustrator — but adapted for motion graphics and animation.

I walk through how to use Ray and collision shapes to detect objects and dynamically push text around them. Starting from a simple single-column setup, I gradually build more advanced examples, including wrapping text around objects from both sides, adding proper margins ,so text never overlaps shapes, and troubleshooting common issues when Rays start colliding with each other.

This isn’t a traditional print-style text wrap tool — it’s a procedural motion design technique — but once you understand the logic, you can adapt it for animated layouts, kinetic typography, and responsive design systems.
