That stumble became the panic run I kept. A useful imperfection can be a character choice.

3D animation is getting easier
6 Cascadeur updates you might have missed: real-time rendering, Unreal Engine Live Link, motion generation, Easing, Animation Layers, and Collision Penetration Cleaning.
Another update is on the way. What should we add next? ↓
Feet sliding? Fixed.

Can’t get that pose right?
AutoPosing in Cascadeur helps you adjust character poses without manually tweaking every joint.

Want to practice game animation for your reel without paying for Maya?
Cascadeur (@cascadeur3d) is a physics-based 3D animation tool with a free plan that never expires. Alexander Grishanin of Cascadeur walked through it in a GduX.me talk on Game Dev Unchained.
What you get on the free plan:
• The complete animation toolset, plus rigging tools
• Physics tools that adjust a character's balance, work out jump and fall arcs, and add secondary motion
• The inbetweening tool
• Animation unbaking, so you can clean up and edit mocap
• Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon Mac builds. The latest is 2026.2.3 (Oct 1)
Cost: $0, no time limit. Non-commercial use only.
One catch: free only exports Cascadeur's own .casc format, with no FBX for Unreal, Unity, or Blender, and the version number always shows in the corner of the viewport. Cascadeur's FAQ says accounts without a paid license can claim a 14-day Trial with full Pro features, export included (also non-commercial), once per major release. The paid Indie plan (from $8/mo billed yearly) adds FBX.
Animators and job hunters: what would you block out first for your reel, a jump, a sword swing, or a fall?

I'm going over most animations again and finally moving them over to the new model. Most of them were retargeted and had subtle issues, and some are already 3 years old (!)
Here's a timelapse of me updating one of the basic attacks. It's grueling but worth it in the long term!
Thanks @cascadeur3d for such an amazing software too!
