Nekki has released a new version of Cascadeur and revised the tariffs
Nekki has updated the Cascadeur character animation tool to version 2024.1. Briefly tell us what has changed.
Key innovations:
- Cascadeur has added a feature that allows you to make corrections to an already prepared animation and automatically convert it into a set of keyframes and interpolations. This is useful, for example, when working with a mockup. It's called Animation Unbaking;
- Nekki has expanded the possibilities of retargeting animations. Now you can transfer animation from one character to another, even if they have a different rig structure;
- AutoPosing and AutoPhysics functions have been improved. In particular, the adjustment of poses has become more detailed, and a function of interaction with the environment has appeared, taking into account physics: the character can climb stairs, engage in parkour, etc., and all objects can be movable.
Cascadeur has also updated the Cascadeur pricing model. It now offers three subscription levels:
1. Cascadeur Free. As the name suggests, this is a free subscription. It gives access to the main features of the tool, but is intended only for non-commercial use and allows you to export files only in the format.casc;
2. Cascadeur Indie. It costs $99 per year. It is intended for studios whose annual income does not exceed 100 thousand dollars. Unlike the free version, it allows you to export files in formats.fbx and .dae;
3. Cascadeur Pro. It costs $399 per year or $49 per month. Designed for large companies and provides access to all Cascadeur functions.
