Cascadeur is a standalone 3D animation software designed to simplify the creation of realistic character animations. Its AI-assisted tools enable rapid posing, automatic rigging, and physics-based motion adjustments, allowing you to produce high-quality animations efficiently. With support for .FBX, .DAE, and .USD file formats, Cascadeur integrates seamlessly into various animation workflows, making it a versatile choice for both beginners and professionals.

The software’s intuitive interface offers features like AutoPosing, which uses neural networks to help you create natural poses by adjusting control points, and AutoPhysics, which ensures realistic motion by applying physics simulations to your animations. Additionally, Cascadeur provides tools for secondary motion adjustments, enabling you to add lifelike movements such as shaking, bouncing, and overlapping actions to your characters.

Quick Rigging: Automatically generate character rigs by dragging and dropping joints, with one-click rigging for standard skeletons from platforms like Daz3d and Mixamo.
AutoPosing: Utilize AI-powered smart rigs to create natural poses quickly by moving main control points, with the AI adjusting the rest of the body automatically.
AutoPhysics: Achieve realistic and natural motion through physics simulations that minimally alter your original animation, providing a green double of your character for comparison.
Secondary Motion: Easily add lifelike movements such as shaking and bouncing to body parts using adjustable sliders, enhancing the realism of your animations.
Animation Unbaking: Convert baked animations into editable ones by automatically selecting keyframes and interpolation intervals, facilitating easy editing of existing animations.
Copy/Paste Retargeting: Transfer animations between characters of different proportions and skeletal structures with just two clicks, streamlining the animation process across multiple characters.
