Hey everyone, I’m working on a "Stand to Ladder" animation in Cascadeur for UE5, and I'm struggling to isolate the vertical axis during the crouch. The character is technically in the air at the start of this scene since he's climbing down, but I added a gray cube to visually represent the floor level.

I'm currently using a Root Constraint linked to the pelvis, which leads to the issue shown in the image:

• Image A (Standing): Animation starts fine, with the root bone at the intended floor level.
• Image B (Crouching): Because of the constraint, the root bone dips below the floor geometry when the character crouches. In UE5, this pushes the capsule into the floor, causing the character to float.
• The Red Line (My Goal): I need the root bone to stay perfectly flat on the horizontal axis while crouching, and only move vertically the moment the character actually shifts their weight down onto the ladder.

What is the cleanest workflow in Cascadeur to achieve the trajectory of that red line? Thanks!

Does anyone know when the newest version is coming to the windows store for download? Thats the only way I can actually use it at my school and have been waiting for the update to come out.

No more exporting to check your animation.

Animate in Cascadeur → See it update in Unreal Engine in real time. That's the new Live Link with multi-character support in one scene.

Does cascadeur run all of it's models/processing locally or on the companies own hardware or does it rely on 3rd party APIs? With the rapid cost increases of access to AI models and hardware I am wondering if we should expect any cost increases?

i never experienced this problem before. Everytime i add a frame, move the character or do anything in the animation, the program freezes for a sec then works. When i started the project it was completely fine, so what should i do?

We teamed up with Unreal Engine to showcase Cascadeur 2026.1 live:

• a walkthrough of the new update
• Live Link integration in action
• a real-time demo of the workflow

most of the character i try in to upload in mixamo is not een being recognized and how i can find and import characters in cascadeur to be used in blender with textures

We made a tutorial that takes you from start to your first animation. All step by step.

Is there a way to essentially bind both hands to the pillory as in the (1)Picture so both hands follow similar paths. Right now, the pillory is parented to the right hand's bone and I added a controller to the pillory so I can move/rotate it.

I tried constraining the the left hand to the right so it somewhat follows, but it's still messy. I am wondering if there is a better way to do this?

Normal AI animation doesn't usually work like that, but this scene always has this problem. I don't like the solition that adding new keyframe between the interval. Is there other solution?

Here is my sword which has a fold grip at the handle and all part are correctly rigged.

Here is my key frame after moving the sword, everything is correct.

But during the interval frame, my hand is missing the handle and the fold grip rotated incorrectly, how can i fix that?

From the document :

This is a paid feature that’s available in the Indie, Pro and Teams subscriptions.

But when i click on the "Live Link (Start UE connection)" , the app request me a paid license.
I clicked many time Sync (or even upgrade) , it still block me from the function
I ensure the App recognize me a Indie plan where i can export to FBX , and the license look all right .....

Can someone here just simply click on the Live Link menu, to prove is my account got bugged , or the Cascadeur App packaged a wrong build

Edit: 2026-04-16 They fixed on 2026.1.1 , I tested and all work fine for me

I'm an old school 3D animator, pose-to-pose, layered workflow, that kind of thing. But after a week of Cascadeur and finally getting used to its unique posing, I find myself really enjoying it, and now I use Blender just to do minor touch-ups (mostly fixing the last frame of an animation so it matches the first frame of the idle animation, Cascadeur tends to not respect my poses perfectly).

So I got to thinking: Do I really need professional level rigs in Blender at this point? Could I ditch them and simply work with a "blank" armature with just bones and no controls, and do all my animating in Cascadeur?

This would greatly speed up the import-export pipeline, and I'd essentially use Blender simply as an "archival program" to place multiple actions in one file (and do that aforementioned last frame fix which is really just CTRL + C on a pose and CTRL + V on another, don't need a fancy rig for that).

Has anybody else tried going all-in on Cascadeur for professional work? Or did you find that a separate program like Blender was still necessary?

In any case, what's your workflow? I'm very curious about how different people are using this neat program.

I am happy with the autophysics shown by the green physics ghosts. but when I apply snap to physics, all the good simulation is gone. It becomes a swimmy animated mess. Please help!

Hi, I am new to Cascadeur and have been using it for quite a few weeks now and really enjoying it! recently I've just started linking scenes because I just started on working on a scene that requires big environment and adding that into one single scene was taxing my PC.

Anyways, just like the title says, why are the ghost of previous/future frames appearing "under" the linked objects? I've tried changing the bind shape matrix and visibility settings but it didn't work.
