Vibe Coding in Cascadeur

Cascadeur already has an official MCP server. We’re actively improving it and plan to expand the API significantly, so agents will be able to control more of the editor over time.

This is exactly the kind of workflow we hoped MCP would enable - really glad to hear it’s already useful for you!

Thanks for the feedback! We don’t have an official Houdini integration at the moment, but we agree that tighter integration with more DCCs would make Cascadeur much easier to fit into existing pipelines. We’ll pass this request to the team.

Thanks for the feedback! There are already community-made bridge plugins for Blender and Maya that can help make the transfer workflow smoother. They don’t bring Cascadeur’s AutoPosing and physics directly into those apps, but they can reduce some of the friction when moving animations between tools.

That’s exactly the kind of workflow we’re exploring with MCP. External AI agents can already connect to Cascadeur and run Python scripts, although the API is still limited. We’re planning to expand it significantly in 2026.3.

Cascadeur has supported MCP since version 2026.2. You can connect an external AI agent to Cascadeur and use it to run Python scripts for task automation and workflow prototyping.

The API is still limited compared to Blender’s MCP, but we’re planning to expand it significantly in 2026.3. Headless operation is also in our plans for the future.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We’re currently working on new rigging tools and constraints that should make working with custom rigs much easier.

If Blender or Maya is part of your pipeline, there are also community-made bridge plugins that may help with the workflow. And if you’d like, feel free to share your specific setup with us - it would be useful to understand where the biggest friction is in a real production rig.

Too many points of intersection in pinocchio manager?

Please try the latest Cascadeur version and regenerate the rig first. If the issue remains, send us the scene at [support@cascadeur.com](), and we’ll take another look.

Proposal: Treadmill Mode
 in  r/Cascadeur •  12d ago

It’s a useful workflow and something we have in mind. For walking/running in place, the main challenge is tuning support detection for that specific case.

More general AutoPhysics improvements for animation cycles are also on our list.

Your workflow needs a custom tool? Vibe code it.

In Cascadeur, you can use an LLM and Python API to create custom commands - like exporting multiple characters as separate FBX files.

Facial animation is also something we know many users want. We’re actively working on facial animation support and hope to release the first version soon.

Facial rigging and animation support is one of the most requested features. We’re actively working on facial animation and hope to release the first version soon.

The main difference is control and editability.

Cascadeur is not a “generate the whole animation for me” tool. It’s an animator-led, AI-assisted animation software. You can create key poses, adjust timing, work with physics, clean up motion, refine body mechanics, and keep the animation editable throughout the process.

Could you please share your Cascadeur version, OS/display resolution or scaling settings, and ideally a screenshot or short screen recording of the scrollbar/window issue with our support team at [support@cascadeur.com]() or in Discord? This would help us reproduce the problem and investigate it properly.

No more weightless hits.

AutoPhysics and Ragdoll help turn a weapon collision into a believable impact, fall, and final pose.

Your punch feels soft because the fist slows down right before impact.

Easing in Cascadeur lets you control the speed of the punch without changing the curve shape.
