LIMASSOL, CYPRUS - Cascadeur (https://cascadeur.com) is a standalone 3D character animation software created by game developer Nekki that combines AI-assisted keyframe animation with physics-based tools to help animators create, edit and polish character motion efficiently. The software can be used to create new keyframe animation, as well as to clean up and editing imported animation.
Cascadeur was originally developed as an internal production tool that would help Nekki create their action-heavy games, which include Shadow Fight and Vector. Today it is well suited to serve as a professional animation application for game developers, animators and studios that need fast iteration, physically plausible body mechanics and editable keyframe animation.
Cascadeur supports common production exchange formats, and Version 2026.1 adds a dedicated Unreal Engine Live Link workflow for realtime previewing in Unreal Engine. The company offers several licensing options, ranging from free for non-commercial use, to $8/month for hobbyists, to $33/month for professionals. There are also studio and educational options available.
