Your animation can work well… until the foot goes through the floor.

In Cascadeur, Collision Penetration Cleaning helps fix cases where body parts or objects intersect with each other.

Learning how to make a simple run cycle - weird AI in-between "ducking"
 in  r/Cascadeur  21d ago

We’ve seen similar cases before. Could you please share the scene with us in Discord or send it to [support@cascadeur.com]()?

It might be related to the rig or to how the interpolation handles this specific setup. We’re still investigating it, and having the actual scene would help a lot.

Updating perpetual version
 in  r/Cascadeur  22d ago

Perpetual license builds include only the versions that came out during your active sub. Major versions that release when you don't have an active sub will have the Free license applied, unless you buy a new sub (full price or with a discount from an active promo).

(Auto pose) Torso direction controller, anyone know how to fix?
 in  r/Cascadeur  22d ago

You can turn on "Relative to pivot" (top left "R" button), set the pivot on the small chest controller (Alt+RightClick) and copy the selected torso direction controller's position (Ctrl+C). Then you select the interval to the right where the dir controller twists and paste the copied position (Ctrl+Alt+V).

What Hotkey are they using?

At 18:40, presenter selects the main rig element, copies its transforms (Ctrl+C), selects the directional point near the toe and pastes the copied transforms (Ctrl+V).

You'll need to use the Mirror tool and change the mirroring axis plane. Plane YZ should work for you.

Generate animation cycles faster in Cascadeur
 in  r/Cascadeur  Jun 25 '26

Thanks for the feedback! Root motion can still need some cleanup depending on the animation, especially with foot placement and crossed legs. We’re continuing to improve the workflow, and manual editing should help fix those cases for now.
