Key Features

  • AutoPosing

    Generates quick, editable character poses including fingers and quadrupeds.

  • AutoPhysics

    Applies physics-based balance and secondary motion for realistic animation.

  • AI Inbetweening

    Creates smooth transitions between key poses to save time.

  • Retargeting

    Transfers animations between differently structured rigs for reuse.

  • Environment interaction

    Uses colliders so characters contact and react to scene objects.

  • Inbetweening tool

    Fills intermediate frames to produce fluid motion.

  • Export formats

    Supports .casc (free) and paid exports to .fbx, .dae, USD, GLTF.

About Cascadeur

Cascadeur is AI-assisted 3D keyframe animation software that speeds realistic character motion creation with physics-driven AutoPosing, AutoPhysics, and AI inbetweening for games, film VFX, and real-time engines.

What Cascadeur Does

Cascadeur enables creation and editing of physically accurate 3D character animations using AI-assisted tools. Animators set key poses and the software applies physics-aware corrections and inbetween frames to produce realistic motion while keeping full manual control.

Key capabilities include AutoPosing for quick pose generation, AutoPhysics for balance and secondary motion, AI Inbetweening to fill frames, and animation retargeting for differently structured rigs.

Use cases include game animation, cinematic VFX, rapid prototyping for real-time engines, and academic/educational training with multi-seat options for schools.
