Cascadeur

Cascadeur is a standalone 3D animation software that enables keyframe animation and editing of imported animations. It leverages AI-assisted tools and physics simulations to speed up the animation process and achieve high-quality results. It supports FBX, DAE, and USD file formats, integrating smoothly into existing animation workflows.

Key Features

• Quick Rigging Tool: Drag-and-drop joints to automatically generate a rig. One-click rigging for standard skeletons from Daz3d, Character Creator, Mixamo, Unreal Engine, Metahuman, Player.me, and more.
• Animation Unbaking: Converts baked animations into editable keyframes with automatic selection of keyframes and interpolation intervals.
• AutoPosing: A neural network-powered smart rig that positions the rest of the body automatically when moving control points, resulting in natural poses.
• Finger Controllers: Intelligent controllers for fingers that speed up hand animation and gestures.
• AutoPhysics: Physics simulation that makes motion realistic with minimal alteration, shown on a green double.
• Secondary Motion: A slider to add shaking, bouncing, and overlapping motion to body parts for lively animations.

Use Cases

• Creating keyframe animations for characters.
• Cleaning up and editing motion capture or imported animations.
• Accelerating the animation process with AI-assisted posing and physics.

Who It's For

Animators, game developers, filmmakers, and 3D artists who need efficient animation tools.
