Cascadeur

Cascadeur is a self-contained 3D keyframe animation program crafted specifically for animating human-like figures and other characters. The purpose of this tool is to streamline the animation workflow, whether you're starting a new animation or modifying an existing one.

Cascadeur employs artificial intelligence and physics-based tools, enabling users to accelerate their projects and produce superior results. Noteworthy functionalities encompass Quick Rigging, which simplifies the creation and modification of character rigs; Animation Unbaking, which converts baked animations into editable formats; and AutoPosing, an advanced rigging feature enhanced by neural networks.

In addition, it furnishes controllers for achieving intricate hand and finger animations. The AutoPhysics tool facilitates the creation of authentic, natural motion with minimal intervention.

Another aspect is the incorporation of secondary motion, lending a natural quality to animations through the simulation of body part overlaps and bounces. Cascadeur is engineered for compatibility with an array of file formats like .FBX, .DAE, and .USD, rendering it a versatile asset for any animation pipeline.

What's more, the animation software seamlessly integrates with a broad spectrum of 3D software and platforms, including Unreal, Unity, Daz3d, 3DS Max, Maya, Mixamo, Blender, Houdini, and Cinema 4D.
