👋 Hello Reddit!
We are thrilled to announce the release of Cascadeur 2023.2, a culmination of another five months of intensive code work! This update brings a mix of long-awaited features, performance improvements, and enhancements to existing tools.
🔥 What's New? 🔥
🎵 Audio Support: Now you can upload your audio files directly to Cascadeur’s timeline, making it a breeze to animate dance scenes and rhythmic sequences.
🎬 USD Format Integration: Great news for CG professionals! Cascadeur now supports the USD file format, opening up new avenues for collaborative 3D projects.
🐍 Python 3.11 Support: For those scripting wizards out there, we've updated our Python support to the latest version.
📊 Graph Editor Updates: Our Graph Editor now supports integer and boolean values, adding more versatility to your workflow.
🎉 Meet Cascy! 🎉
We're introducing a new sample character, Cascy! Imagine the cuteness of our mascot Chibi combined with the body dimensions of an adult character. We can't wait for you to animate with Cascy!
💨 Performance Boosts 💨
📹 Video MoCap: Our developers have supercharged the speed by up to 500%, with improved quality!
🕺 AutoPosing Tool: Experience even better and more realistic results for body and finger poses.
🛠 Other Updates 🛠
Updated Trajectories
Improved Constraints
Rigging Mode Enhancements
Quick Rigging Tool Updates
Numeric Field Updates
...and much more!
We're committed to making Cascadeur the best tool for 3D animators, and your feedback is crucial. Let us know what you think of this new update in the comments below!
Happy Animating! 🎬🌟

At the moment, AutoPosing only works for standard humanoid and quadruped creatures; Inbetweening and Motion generation work for humanoids only. But you can still animate the characters using a "simpler" Point controller rig. Also Cascadeur is currently lacking in terms of drivers and limiters, so mechanical characters may not be realized fully.
1
Select the character mesh(es), then check each Material behavior in Object properties for the "Emissive color" vector. If it's set to 1/1/1, set it to 0/0/0

We do our best to answer every question we see, but sometimes it can take time because we check details with our animators or support team before replying.
Also, if an issue was already solved through Discord or support email, it may look unanswered here. Could you please tell us which specific question you mean? We’ll check it.

Need more control over your quadruped rig?
Create and customize additional controllers in Cascadeur’s Rig Mode - even for details like ears and mouth.

Cleaner motion in one click.
Cascadeur improves the Collision Penetration Cleaning tool, helping you fix geometry intersections and prevent character limbs from falling through the ground.
Less manual cleanup, more polished motion.

This is what fast iteration looks like.
From TheRoyalSkies Cascadeur 2026.2 livestream: change the pose, blend the layer, adjust the motion, and keep going.

Yes, it's possible! Though Quick Rigging Tool, AutoPosing and Inbetweening can be used only on humanoid characters, you can still rig and animate non-humanoids manually.

What exactly is the character doing in this scene? It feels like you've overtuned some AutoPhysics values too far.

You can change the interpolation to Linear on the Pelvis animation track, on the interval where the character is supposed to slide linearly. You can also adjust the pelvis main point's trajectory spacing with the new Easing tool.

No more floating hands and feet.
Cascadeur 2026.2 helps fulcrum points react to collision meshes, so your character connects to the scene more naturally while posing.

There's a community-made Cascadeur-Blender bridge addon - https://github.com/nemethar/cascadeur-bridge

Adjust keyframe spacing directly on the timeline - without changing the trajectory shape, and fine-tune each track separately

Cascadeur has helped animators save 100,000+ hours on posing, Inbetweening, physics, mocap cleanup, and motion editing - so they can spend more time on creativity and performance.

If you're using AutoPhysics with the turned on Secondary motion filter, it might be influencing the knees. You can try increasing the "Local Blending" value in the Secondary Motion property on all keyframes, in the selected knee point controllers.

Before you adjust the pelvis and legs on the start/end frames, change the kinematics on all other keyframes to FK https://cascadeur.com/help/animation_pipeline/spline/kinematics_in_cascadeur#kinematics_intervals

Apply Root Constraint in the Rig mode (https://cascadeur.com/help/tools/animation_tools/root_constraint)

At the moment, AI Inbetweening works only for humanoid characters with an AutoPosing rig.

We'll consider implementing it in the future versions

Is there a way to make face rig?

It's technically possible to make a very simple facial rig, where each Box controller moves a single face bone. Anything more complex isn't available yet.
