What is Cascadeur?
Cascadeur is a standalone 3D animation application that supports keyframe animation and animation cleanup.
It incorporates AI‑assisted pose generation (AutoPosing) and physics simulation (AutoPhysics) to streamline rigging, retargeting, and secondary motion.
The software offers quick rigging tools that import skeletons from Daz3D, Character Creator, Mixamo, Unreal Engine, Metahuman, and Player.me, then generate a standard rig with a single click.
Animation unbaking allows baked keyframes to become editable, while Video Mocap and Fulcrum Motion Cleaning enable conversion of video footage into editable animation sequences.
Cascadeur supports .FBX, .DAE, and .USD file formats, facilitating integration into existing pipelines for game studios, VFX houses, and interactive media projects.
The user interface includes intuitive controllers for fingers, automatic pose adjustment, and sliders for secondary motion to add realism to idle or action sequences.
