Cascadeur 2024.3 introduces Ragdoll Physics, UE Livelink & much more!

We've just released Cascadeur 2024.3!
Packed with powerful new tools and updates, this version brings greater realism and control to animations, making it a must-have for creators and developers.

Key Highlights of this version:

  • Ragdoll Physics : Characters now react to collisions with objects and each other. Your poses directly influence the simulation, and settings can be fine-tuned for perfect results.
  • Secondary Motion Enhancements : Create smoother, more natural animations with improved behavior that now also recognizes collisions.
  • Unreal Engine LiveLink : Iterate faster with real-time synchronization between Cascadeur and Unreal Engine.
  • One-Click Auto Interpolation : Quickly set interpolations for animation intervals, saving time while maintaining high quality.
We've also added more Camera Settings , negative timeline values, a pinning option for object behaviors, and a revamped Start Menu for a smoother workflow.


For a complete list of changes, check out the 2024.3 release notes.

Indie Game Spotlight: Dynasthir
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.

Indie Game Spotlight: Deformed
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.

Indie Game Spotlight: Eclipse Breaker
In our latest Indie Spotlight, Jorge Rodriguez, founder of Lunar Workshop Games, shares the journey behind his action-packed retro roguelike Eclipse Breaker. As a former developer of major titles like Call of Duty and Double Action Boogaloo, Jorge explains how Cascadeur helped him bring complex animations to life despite not having formal training. With Auto-Rigging and AutoPhysics, he was able to create unique characters like a spiraling water dragon and flying bosses. An inspiring story about creative freedom, technical solutions, and the power of the right tools.
