Introduction

Cascadeur is an AI driven animation production tool developed by Nekki, specifically designed for the gaming and film industries to simplify the production process of complex character animations. Cascadeur is also an AI assisted 3D keyframe animation software used for intuitive character poses and physically accurate animations, as well as editing of any mocap and asset data. Greatly speeding up the animation process and achieving high-quality results. It is related to FBX. CAE and The USD file makes it easy to integrate into any animation workflow, such as Unreal Engine, Unity3D, Daz3D, 3DS MAx, Maya, Mixamo, Blender, Houdini, Cinema 4D, and more.

1、 Core functions

 AI assisted animation production: Cascadeur utilizes advanced artificial intelligence technology to automatically improve animation quality, ensuring more realistic and natural movements. Through intelligent algorithms, it can analyze and optimize every action detail, reduce the workload of manual adjustments, and improve production efficiency.

Physical simulation: This software uses a physics engine to simulate the motion laws of the real world, making the character's movements not only smooth but also in accordance with the principles of physics. This ensures that even complex action scenes can present a high degree of realism.

Intuitive and user-friendly interface: Cascadeur provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface where users can easily pose their characters and create intricate animations. The interface design is concise and clear, including multiple panels such as timeline, character view, property panel, toolbar, etc., making it convenient for users to perform multitasking operations.

Quick Rigging Tool support: This tool supports one click binding from multiple standard skeleton models, greatly simplifying the model preparation process and improving animation production efficiency.

Powerful toolset: Cascadeur provides a rich toolset, including bone binding, skinning, animation curve editing, etc., to meet your various animation production needs.

Seamless integration: Cascadeur can seamlessly integrate with other mainstream 3D software such as Maya, Blender, etc., making it easy for you to import and export animations to different workflows.

2、 Technical features

Physics based approach: Cascadeur uses physics based methods to create animations that generate realistic character actions without the need for motion capture. This reduces production costs and time, and improves the flexibility of animation production.

Multiple file format support: This software supports multiple file formats to ensure compatibility with different animation processes. This enables Cascadeur to seamlessly integrate with other animation software, meeting the diverse needs of users.

Cross platform use: Cascadeur is developed based on the Qt framework and supports running on operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. This provides users with a wider range of choices and convenience.
