Cascadeur

Cascadeur is standalone software for 3D keyframe character animation with built-in AI and physics. It’s designed for animators, game dev teams, and studios working with humanoid and fantasy characters.

Faster key posing

Cascadeur focuses on speeding up key pose creation. AI-based tools help you build natural-looking poses and motion, while suggesting physically plausible solutions. You can preview results immediately and fine-tune individual movements frame by frame.

Physics and secondary motion you can control

The app shows the physical impact of your edits in real time. You can adjust secondary motion—arm swings, body inertia, balance—without losing control of keyframes. AI acts as an assistant rather than replacing manual animation.

Fits into existing pipelines

Cascadeur supports .FBX, .DAE, and .USD for easier exchange with game engines and DCC tools.

• Import existing animations
• Clean up and edit motion
• Export back into your usual workflow

Simple character rig setup

Rigging uses a visual drag-and-drop joint setup, which lowers the learning curve for beginners and speeds up production prep.
