ALATURKA is a solo-developed, old-school open-world action game set in a fictionalized 1970s Istanbul. In this article, Unreal Authorized Instructor Burak Akşahin shares how the project evolved from an educational experiment into a living documentation of indie game development—and how switching to Cascadeur helped him overcome one of his biggest challenges: creating weighty, believable animations as a non-animator.

Cascadeur 2025.3 is now available, lifting your animation workflow to the next level by fully integrating Inbetweening interpolation and introducing Quadruped support for AutoPosing and Quick Rigging (Alpha). For the first time, we are also offering an early experimental build using Filament Renderer as a separate download - giving you a preview of Cascadeur’s future rendering capabilities!

Dynasthir is a dark, medieval-fantasy action adventure shaped by more than ten years of development. Indie developer Ulfgang Bristall describes how the game’s animations evolved over time, and how working with Cascadeur since its Closed Beta became a core part of his workflow. His insights show how a two-person team can now build complex, animation-driven game worlds that once required large studio pipelines.

Cascadeur has received an Epic MegaGrant, which we’ll use to develop a dedicated Unreal Engine Live Link plugin. This new integration will let entire animation sequences flow directly from Cascadeur into Unreal in real time, bringing a major benefit for the over 40% of our users who work with Unreal Engine for games and films.

What can we learn from flawed action scenes? In this final part of the series, Team Cascadeur's technical writer Fjodor explores how even poorly shot material can inspire solid 3D animation. From building rough sketches and using AutoPhysics to refining environment and camera work, this article shows how to extract the essence of imperfect references and turn them into clear, dynamic animation.

With Cascadeur 2025.2, we’re refining your animation experience with powerful upgrades to our most popular and widely used features - many of them based on user feedback. At the core of this update is a much improved AI Inbetweening system: smoother transitions, more precise results, and new ways to control your motion.

How do you capture the finesse of a perfect carving turn? In this article, @carver_arcalis shows how Cascadeur helps visualize the subtle mechanics behind edge control, weight shifts, and realistic board motion. Using custom rigs and a smart two-step animation process, he breaks down snowboard carving into clear, learnable movements — ideal for both enthusiasts and animators.

What can live-action fight scenes teach us about animation? In this follow-up to Part 1, Team Cascadeur's technical wriiter Fjodor explores how references from martial arts films can be used as a foundation for impactful 3D animation. From frame-by-frame analysis to working with centers of mass, this article shows how to go beyond copying and turn reference into real animation craft.

In Deformed, solo developer Deformed Studios throws players into a tense horror shooter full of biotech experiments and long-range combat. What began as a simple idea - put a monster in a game - grew into a dark, action-packed experience. Cascadeur made it possible to build complex cutscenes, gameplay animations, and even ragdoll moments. From blocking out poses to polishing final shots, it streamlined key steps in a solo dev pipeline.
