Cascadeur is a 3D animation software developed by Nekki, a Cyprus-based company. The software is designed for creating keyframe animations, and used primarily in developing indie games and producing dynamic animations without motion capture.[1]
Development and release
editCascadeur was initially conceived by Nekki, which is also known for developing Shadow Fight and Vector games, to address the need for a tool that could simulate physics accurately and create realistic animations for games.[2][3][4] The software was first introduced in an open beta in 2019,[5] and after years of development and community feedback, the early access version was launched in 2021,[6] followed by an official full release in 2022.[7][8] Nekki has continued to add features with version updates.[9]
In January 2024, Nekki announced that it was also working on a mobile version of the software. Cascadeur Mobile entered open beta for iPhone and iPad in June 2024.[10][11]
Features
editCascadeur includes a tool for character posing called AutoPosing,[12] a set of tools called AutoPhysics for creating physics-based motion sequences,[13] and an Animation Unbaking feature which converts a baked animation into editable keyframes and interpolations.[14] Other features include secondary animations, rigging, video-based mocap, and animation retargeting.[15]
The software has a free version and three paid subscription versions.[16]
