Physics-assisted animation
Cascadeur entered open beta as a character-animation application with physics-based tools for building plausible keyframe motion. The software had first been announced in 2019 and previously operated as a closed beta.
Rigging and architecture
The open beta revised rigging and rig-creation tools and introduced a rebuilt core architecture intended to improve speed. Planned updates included more intuitive rigging, Python scripting and a beta graph editor.
The developer permitted animations created with the open beta to be used free of charge in games and films without prior approval. The software and documentation were available from the Cascadeur website. Verify current licensing, rig import, physics behaviour and export before production use.
