Cascadeur is a standalone 3D software designed for creating and editing keyframe animations, emphasizing realistic physics and AI-assisted workflows. It is tailored for character animation in games and films, offering unique features that streamline the animation process. Key functionalities include AI-Powered AutoPosing, which allows users to set key poses by adjusting just a few body parts, while the software's neural network calculates a complete, physically accurate pose. Additionally, the AutoPhysics feature ensures that animations adhere to real-world physics, enhancing movement realism.

Other notable features include the Ballistic Trajectory Tool, which aids in creating realistic jumps and arcs, and Secondary Motion Tools that automatically generate follow-through actions, saving valuable time. The Quick Rigging Tool facilitates the rapid setup of both bipedal and quadruped characters, while Animation Unbaking allows for the editing of motion capture data. Cascadeur also supports multiple industry-standard formats, making it an integrated solution for animators.
