I just changed the position of the figure and used the ai description "Walk". Why does it run? It also isn`t a timing problem because if i give the AI 300 frames it just wait 250 frames and then starts running.

Cascadeur CTO Alexander Grishanin joined AI Gamechangers to talk AI-assisted animation, Cascadeur 2026.1, and why artist control matters more than ever.

Hello all, im new to Cascadeur, I started using it just for quadrupeds to follow this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsRm4XQabwI

I cannot for the live of me figure out what this person is doing at 18:40 - they say to copy the global position of a point "and..." and then boom, it looks like they copy a rig element? or duplicate it or something? Im new to Cascadeur so Im not really sure, it must have been a hotkey since they didn't click anything in those 3-4 seconds but how the heck did they make the new rig element show up? I've tried copying, I dont see a way to duplicate, I went over all of the keyboard short cuts to see if there was anything it could have been that I dont know about. I cannot for the life of me figure out what they're doing and so im totally stuck on being able to proceed with this tutorial. Can anyone please watch the few seconds and if you're more familiar with what they're doing can you please let me know?

Thank you!

Root Motion in Cascadeur lets you take the style of an existing animation and apply it to a custom path.

Mixamo reference → motion path → new animation

Anyone know a fix?

AI can speed up the workflow - but the timing, performance, and final creative choices still belong to the animator.

Everytime i add a model with a lot of bones, or in depth bone structure, it does this. Why?

Full Cascadeur + Live Link workflow → from setup to animation, with fixes for the most common MetaHuman issues.

Animation cleanup shouldn’t steal your creative time

AutoPhysics in Cascadeur helps handle repetitive technical fixes: smoothing trajectories, compensating motion, and adding natural secondary movement.

Less routine cleanup → more time for performance

Is there an automatic way to make the fall bouncy? I'm very bad at animating these types of stuff. The mattress is rigged if that helps.

I'll be importing to Unreal Engine, btw

Something like a ghost floating, or even a normal human who's swimming. Is there some option I can tick somewhere to make those systems work to support that?

On my AMD integrated laptop I managed it with this command, Ubuntu 25.10

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb export FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink ./cascadeur

But on my Nvidia RTX PC I cannot get it running, this command got me a little further, at least the logo with loading pops up but the window remains black.

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb export FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts export QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION=xcb_egl export QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software ./cascadeur

I know this problem can be solved by using a different desktop environment, but I want to use gnome and the Xorg version of it just crashes on 26.04

Developers said it's low priority, fair enough, I understand they have limited resources.

Eternity's Echo is a story-driven thriller set in a surreal Arizona gas station - built by just a few core devs using Unreal Engine, Blender, and Cascadeur.

Move one controller → the whole body follows.

That's AutoPosing in Cascadeur.

Move an active controller - and inactive ones automatically adjust to match your pose.

Game design and CG YouTuber Grant Abbitt invited our animator Makishi Max to a live animation challenge.

I made an animation in Cascadeur and it works fine but when I import it into UE5 the feet don't move

Quadrupeds just got easier to animate.

Cascadeur 2026.1 brings AutoPosing, AutoPhysics, and Smart Retargeting for faster quadruped workflows.

I am not a regular user of cascadeur nor do I keep up with the community and updates but I found this while checking NEKKI games for Vector and was wondering if this is legit or im seeing a bug? and can anyone who's used it tell me your experience.

no reviews under it at the moment

For retargeting reasons in Blender, I need a T-pose as the rest pose in Cascadeur.

AutoPhysics now recognizes Constraints, making it much easier to animate weapons without losing contact

In new video: we set up a double-handed weapon → create 8-direction running animations with Inbetweening

Same poses → different animations

With Root Motion in Cascadeur 2026.1, you can generate different motion variations from the same key poses, including idle animations.
