Cascadeur

Overview

Cascadeur is desktop 3D animation software focused on character animation. It speeds up traditional keyframing with AI-assisted posing and physics tools, so motion looks believable without hand-tuning every frame.

Animators can pose a character with a few controls and let the AI fill in the rest, then use physics tools to fix balance and trajectories. It is also used for cleaning up motion-capture data and for AI motion generation. It's developed by Nekki, the studio behind the Shadow Fight games.

Key features

• AI-assisted posing from a few control points
• Physics tools for natural balance and trajectories
• Mocap cleanup and editing
• AI motion generation
• Export to common formats for game engines
