Today, we are thrilled to unveil the revolutionary advancements of Cascadeur 2024.1, released by a series of updates and new features tailored for you, taking rigging and character animation to the next level.
This update is a milestone in the development of Cascadeur as we introduce a revolutionary animation feature called Animation Unbaking.
This feature converts a baked animation e.g. from MoCap or Assets data where each frame is a keyframe into a set of keyframes and interpolations of various types. It allows you to clean up mocap data and make it editable, which significantly improves many animation workflows!
Retargeting in Cascadeur
First on the agenda is Retargeting—a true game-changer in character animation. Imagine the seamless transfer of entire animation sequences from one character to another with just a simple Copy/Paste command. Cascadeur has redefined the process, making it effortlessly easy to infuse life into your characters. Regardless of their shape or size, humanoid characters of all types can now undergo this magical transformation, thanks to the mind-blowing capabilities of Retargeting.
Balancing in Cascadeur
Now, let’s delve into the realm of Balancing, driven by the revolutionary AutoPhysics technology. Picture your characters seamlessly interacting with their environment—performing parkour stunts, scaling walls, navigating stairs, and engaging with moving objects—all with the fluidity and realism reminiscent of your favorite action movie scenes. With Cascadeur, your characters are poised to become true masters of their surroundings.
Sliders in Cascadeur
But hold on, because the excitement doesn’t stop there! The latest version also introduces Sliders, seamlessly integrated with AutoPhysics, streamlining your workflow with unparalleled ease and efficiency. With just four sleek sliders, you gain complete control over your character’s trajectory, rotation, compensation, and secondary movements, simplifying the animation process like never before.
