Cascadeur

Product Overview

Cascadeur is a powerful standalone 3D animation software that makes creating and refining character movements easier than ever. It helps you craft stunning keyframe animations and efficiently clean up or edit existing ones. By combining AI-assisted tools with physics-based capabilities, Cascadeur dramatically speeds up your animation process, helping you achieve high-quality, realistic results. Plus, it fits right into your workflow with support for popular .FBX, .DAE, and .USD file formats.

Cascadeur Key Features

• AI AutoPosing: Intuitively create natural character poses with AI-powered suggestions. Simply move a few control points, and the neural network intelligently positions the rest of the body for you.
• Physics-Based Animation (AutoPhysics): Achieve incredibly realistic and natural motion. AutoPhysics suggests physically accurate movements, displayed on a 'green double' of your character, requiring minimal adjustments.
• Quick Rigging: Rig your 3D models with ease. Drag and drop joints to automatically generate rigs, or use one-click options for standard skeletons from platforms like Daz3d, Mixamo, Unreal Engine, and Metahuman.
• Animation Unbaking: Convert any baked animation into an editable one. Cascadeur automatically selects keyframes and interpolation intervals, making complex animations simple to refine.
• Intelligent Finger Control: Speed up the animation of intricate hand gestures and behaviors using smart AutoPosing controllers specifically designed for fingers.
• Dynamic Secondary Motion: Instantly add life to your characters by adjusting sliders to create natural shakes, bounces, and overlapping movements for different body parts.
• Video Mocap: Transform video footage directly into editable animations, then clean up and refine them with integrated tools for high-quality results.
• Retargeting: Transfer animations between diverse humanoid characters in just two clicks, regardless of their proportions or skeletal structure.
• Extensive File Support: Seamlessly integrate Cascadeur into your animation pipeline with robust compatibility for .FBX, .DAE, and .USD files.
