Cascadeur 2025.1 boosts animation with AI Inbetweening, refined physics, and seamless workflow enhancements.

Cascadeur, the new character animation tool, has just released its 2025.1 update, and it is gaining attention in the world of animation. At the forefront of the update is a robust new AI-based Inbetweening tool that can change the way animation workflows are done by creating smooth and natural transitions between two poses automatically. This translates to quicker turnaround times and more intuitive workflows—something that will greatly benefit indie animators and small studios.

This AI Inbetweening capability takes advantage of Cascadeur's prowess in physics-based animation, allowing artists to have a major advantage in achieving realistic movement without having to key each frame manually. The update also includes enhancements to the AutoPosing system, providing more stable outputs and improved pelvis control—important areas for animating realistic character movement.

Another important win is the upgrade of Cascadeur's AutoPhysics system. With an added slider for the Physics Corrector and enhanced saving of initial poses via Geometrical Constraints, the tool can offer more precision and flexibility when animation cleanup and refinement are handled.

The Ragdoll System also receives major improvements, such as more interactive ragdoll physics with characters and props, along with custom kinematic mesh collider support. This further increases Cascadeur's action scene and game development versatility.

For users who work between pipelines, the update enhances GLTF/GLB and FBX import/export functionality, and enhances compatibility with industry software such as Blender and Daz3D. UI improvements including a fresh right-click context menu and improved unbaking functionality are aimed at streamlining the user experience.

With its aggressive price strategy and ongoing innovation, Cascadeur is incrementally becoming a legitimate replacement for heavy-duty tools like Maya. For animators looking for user-friendly, physics-based pipelines at an affordable cost, Cascadeur 2025.1 is worth a consideration.
