Overview

Cascadeur is a standalone 3D software designed for 3D keyframe animation of humanoid characters or other models. The software makes animation creation and editing easy, fast and high-quality by incorporating AI-assisted tools.
It works with .FBX, .DAE and .USD files making it easy to integrate into any animation workflow.

With Cascadeur, users can create key poses rapidly, instantly visualize the physical outcomes, and fine-tune secondary motion, while maintaining full control at every step. It supports a wide range of file formats such as .FBX, .DAE, and .USD, ensuring smooth integration into various animation workflows.

Key Features


Rig Your Models Easily Using the Quick Rigging Tool, users can easily drag-and-drop joints of their character models to generate the rig automatically. Cascadeur supports one-click rigging for standard skeletons from popular sources such as Daz3d, Character Creator, Mixamo, Unreal Engine, Metahuman, and Player.me.	Make Any Animation Editable With the Animation Unbaking feature, Cascadeur turns any baked animation into an editable one. This feature automatically selects keyframes and interpolation intervals with the desired precision, making the animation ready for further editing.	Easy to Pose with AI The AutoPosing feature is a smart rig powered by neural networks, helping users create poses more easily and quickly. By moving control points, the AI positions the rest of the body automatically, resulting in the most natural pose possible.	Handy Controllers for Fingers Control fingers with intelligent AutoPosing controllers that dramatically speed up the process of animating hand behavior and gestures.

Easy to Physics The AutoPhysics feature ensures realistic and natural motion while altering the animation as little as possible. The suggested animation is displayed on a green double of the user's character for easy comparison and adjustment.	Add Life with Secondary Motion Users can adjust the sliders to add shake, bounce, and overlap to body parts, making animations more lifelike. This feature is particularly useful for idle animations and action moves.	Turn Videos into Animation Using Video Mocap along with Animation Unbaking and Fulcrum Motion Cleaning, users can clean up and edit animations to achieve high-quality results.	Copy/Paste Retargeting Transfer animations between characters with just two clicks. This feature works for any humanoid characters of different proportions, regardless of their skeletal structure.

Compatibility with Other Programs

Cascadeur supports .FBX, .DAE, and .USD files, making it simple to integrate into almost any animation workflow. It is compatible with a wide range of software including Unreal Engine, Unity, Daz3d, 3ds Max, Maya, Mixamo, Blender, Houdini, and Cinema 4d.

The benefits of using Cascadeur include a substantial reduction in animation creation time and enhanced animation quality, thanks to its innovative AI-assisted tools and physics-based features. The compatibility with multiple file formats and animation software ensures seamless integration into your existing workflow, making Cascadeur a versatile and powerful tool for animators of all levels.
