Description
Cascadeur is a professional tool for creating 3D animation on Android, designed for those who want to work with keyframes directly from a mobile device. The app combines artificial intelligence and physics simulation technologies, allowing you to achieve natural and smooth character movements without deep technical knowledge. The interface is adapted for touchscreens, and synchronization with the desktop version opens up possibilities for a complete workflow.
Features of Cascadeur
The app's central tool is AutoPosing, a neural network-based system. Simply move a few control points, and the AI automatically arranges the entire character's pose, including the position of the arms, legs, and torso. Separate controllers have been implemented for fingers, which simplifies gesture animation and detailed hand movements. The AutoPhysics tool adds physically correct behavior: suggested edits are displayed on a green duplicate of the character, and the author decides whether to accept them or not. Secondary movements - trembling, bounces, overlaps - are adjusted with a simple slider and are especially useful for scenes of inactivity or active action.
Modes and Capabilities
Cascadeur supports creating animation sequences through an AI in-betweening tool - intermediate frames are automatically generated between specified key poses. For working with references, video import directly into the scene is provided. The app also supports augmented reality: the character can be placed in real space via the smartphone camera and the animation edited right there. Additional tools include trajectories, ghosts, an animation machine, IK/FK interpolation, and lighting settings. Scenes can be imported and exported through Cascadeur for PC.
Who is Cascadeur suitable for
The app is designed for animators, 3D artists, and game developers who need a mobile tool for working with character animation. It is also suitable for those who are just getting started with keyframes: the AI takes on most of the routine work. For those looking for a simple video viewer or ready-made templates without customization, the app may seem excessive. You can download Cascadeur for Android as an APK file without registration. The app is free in its basic version and provides a full workflow directly from your smartphone screen.
