Cascadeur is a software for creating character animation without motion capture. Using physics-based approach, it allows for creating expressive and realistic animations for movies and video games. Unlike other animation software, character rig in Cascadeur includes physical objects. When you animate your character, you animate the movements of rigid bodies as well. Then, our tools use this information to calculate, visualize and, if necessary, improve the physical characteristics of the pose or animation of the character. This greatly simplifies the animation process and makes it possible to create complex action scenes without relying on motion capture and with no stuntmen involved. We also aim to make Cascadeur as convenient and user-friendly as possible, so it will be easy to use even if you are not a professional animator.

Character Animator uses your expressions and movements to animate characters in real time. It’s so fast, you can livestream while you work to wow audiences every step of the way. Put your best face forward. Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator matches your expressions — from syncing lips to tracking eyes — to animate in real time. Create a character in seconds. Turn any art into an animated character with your webcam, powered by Adobe Sensei AI. Import art from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, or start with built-in character templates. Animations with legs — and arms and heads. Control gestures like waving with your keyboard or MIDI device. Movements can be saved as triggers, so they’re easier to remember than key commands.
