what is Cascadeur?

Cascadeur is a website for 3D animation software called Cascadeur.

• It’s a standalone software for keyframe animation of 3D characters. This means you create animations by setting key poses at specific points in time and the software interpolates the movement between them.
• It focuses on humanoid and other character animation, not objects or scenes.
• It uses a physics-based approach to animation, which means the software simulates the natural physics of the character’s body to create realistic movements.
• It boasts AI-assisted tools that help with tasks like posing and cleaning motion capture data.

Key features of Cascadeur:

• AutoPosing: AI helps with posing limbs and fingers, which can save time and effort.
• Animation Tracks: Organize and manage different animation layers for flexibility.
• Compensation Motion and Fulcrum Motion Cleaning: Tools to refine captured motion data and make it look more natural.
• Control Picker: Quickly select different parts of the character rig for easy posing.

Who is Cascadeur for?

• Primarily aimed at 3D animators and game developers who work on character animation.
• Useful for those looking for a more natural and physics-based approach to animation.
• May not be ideal for beginners due to its technical nature.
