Scene objects in Cascadeur can be viewed as sets of Behaviors. Every object always has at least one (and usually more) Behavior attached to it. These behaviors define how the object is handled within the scene.

The list of behaviors associated with an object can be viewed on the Object Properties panel:

Behaviors available in Cascadeur are:

 

Angle Constraints

This behavior sets parameters for limiting Joint rotation when Ragdoll is used.
It is applied to Point Controllers.

Rigid body parent
Contains a link to the Rigid Body that acts as a parent object for this Point.

Rigid body child
Contains a link to the Rigid Body that acts as a child for the Rigid Body this Point is attached to.

Min angle
Sets the minimum angle to which the rig element is allowed to bend around each one of the three axes (X, Y and Z).

Max angle
Sets the maximum angle to which the rig element is allowed to bend around the same 3 axes.

Rotation offset
Sets the local rotation offset from the parent rig element. Used for aligning the Angle Constraint rotation axis to the current rig element’s orientation.

Animation Info

This behavior stores all data that concerns animation when the Rig Mode is enabled.

Selected frame
The number of the currently selected frame on the Timeline.

Vps info
A link to rthe VPS object.

Hidden objects
A list of objects that are not currently visible in the scene.

Attraction Point

This behavior is applied to Rigid Bodies. It defines a point that is associated with a Rigid Body and can be used to move it.

It is used during the Relaxation stage: if the Rigid Body’s position is altered (by using manipulators. for example), this point is fixed and moved so its Global coordinates would coincide with the user-defined ones.

Audio

This behavior contains a set of parameters for Audio objects (that contain sound tracks that are played along with the animation).

File Path
The path to the audio file on the disk.

Visible
Affects the color used to show the audio object in the Outliner; when it is set to Visible, the color is white, for Invisible and Hidden, it’s gray.

Mute
If this is enabled, audio won’t play when the animation is played.

Start frame
Sets the animation frame from which the audio starts.

Start offset
Sets the offset (in milliseconds) for the audio. Can be used to skip the initial part of the track (if, for example, it has silence in it).

Duration
The length of the audio track in milliseconds.

AutoPhysics

This behavior defines how a character’s Center of Mass interacts with AutoPhysics simulation.

Frame weight
This parameter controls the extent to which the algorithm tries to preserve the current frame.
By default, it is set to 0.0, meaning the original frame is not preserved.

Rotation blending
Defines how the algorithm could change the character’s rotation on the current frame.
When this value is set to 100, the character’s rotation won’t change.
When it is set to 0, the rotation angle won’t be interpolated.

Vertical jerk
Sets a limit for the vertical component of the acceleration.
This parameter is used for smoothing the Center of Mass’ trajectory. Increasing its value leads to a less smooth trajectory.
By default, it is set to zero, which is its minimal possible value.

Horizontal jerk
Same as above, but for the horizontal component of the acceleration.

Priority frame
If this is enabled on a frame, the frame is prioritized by the algorithm for this Center of Mass.
Disabled by default.

AutoPhysics Apply

This behavior controls how the AutoPhysics simulation influences the object.

Keep global rotation
Sets the extent to which the Point Controller’s rotation in the Global space is preserved during simulation.
The value of this parameter can change in the range of 0 to 100. 0 means Global rotation is not preserved and the rotation produced by the Physics corrector algorithm is used in its place. 100 means rotation is preserved completely, with no input from the algorithm.

Keep global translation
Sets the extent to which the Point’s Global translation is preserved during simulation.

AutoPosing Info

Selectable
If this is enabled, the object can be selected.

Custom selectable
Defines how the object should be selected when the selection border (link) is used.
Default means the object is always selected when it is in the border.
Single means the object is only selected when it is the only object in the border. If there are any other objects (regardless of their type), the object won’t be selected.
SingleType means the object is selected when other objects in the border have this type as well. Direction Controllers, for example, use this option.

Behaviors
A list of collision behaviors attached to the element.

Collision Material

These settings define how physics simulations should work with the collider.

Bounciness
Sets the rebound force for the collision.

Compensation Motion

This behavior defines how the object interacts with the Compensation Motion effect.
It is exclusive to Point Controllers.

Muscle stiffness
Defines how much Compensation Motion impacts the animation.
The value of 100 means that the tool would fully preserve local coordinates of the Rigid Body associated with the point.
The value of 0 means coordinates can change completely.
For practical tasks, we would recommend to use values between 5 and 50 for body parts that should be influenced by the Compensation Motion tool.

Full means rotation is copied completely:
Off means rotation is not taken into account.

If this is enabled, the constraint is active on the current frame. Can be used when you need to switch the constraint on and off between frames.

Constrain position
If this is enabled, the constrained object’s position is affected when the object it is constrained to is moving.

Constraint rotation
This option defines how the rotation of the constrained object is affected when the object it is constrained to is rotated.

There are three possible values:
Compensate means the position of the constrained object is affected by the rotation of the object it is constrained to, but its global rotation is not affected:
Full means rotation is copied completely:
Off means rotation is not taken into account.

Constraint active
If this is enabled, the constraint is taken into account.

Finally, when a Point is constrained to a transform object, the behavior looks like this:

It doesn’t have any parameters.

Enforce Save Data

If this behavior is applied to an object, the data for it is saved in every frame, regardless of whether the frame is a keyframe or a regular one.
It also doesn’t have any parameters.

Extended Hierarchy

Enable parent
If this option is enabled, the object is used for hierarchical selection.

Enable additional parent
If this is enabled, the additional parent (if it is present) of the selected object is used for hierarchical selection.

Additional parent
The name of the additional parent of the selected object (if present).

Fbx Export

This set of options controls how Joints and Meshes are exported to the FBX format.

Rotation order

This parameter sets the rotation order used for the selected object.
When you export your animation, custom rotation order might be necessary to bypass the gimbal lock problem. This problem does not occur in Cascadeur itself because instead of Euler angles it uses quaternions for calculating rotations.

Is exported
If this is enabled, the object is exported to the FBX format. Otherwise, the object is ignored during export.

Export translate animation
If this is enabled, the object's translations (changes in its coordinates) are exported to the FBX format. Otherwise, they are ignored.

Export rotate animation
If this is enabled, the object's rotations (changes in its spatial orientation) are exported to the FBX format. Otherwise, they are ignored

Export scale animation
If this is enabled, the object's scale is exported to the FBX format. Otherwise, the scale remains constant.

Use namespaces
If this is enabled, the name of the exported object would include its namespace. This can be used when a scene has two or more identical objects (such as two characters with the same mesh), so the namespace is necessary to distinguish them.
Otherwise, the namespace is ignored.
Disabled by default.

Fixation

This behavior concerns object fixing.

Fixed
When this is enabled, the object is considered fixed.

Fulcrum Group

This behavior defines the group of fulcrum points.
If one of the points in the group is considered a fulcrum point, every point in the group is fixed.

Enforce means the controller is always considered a fulcrum point, even when the conditions are not met.
Finally, if NotFulcrum is enabled, the controller is never considered a fulcrum point.

Max height
Sets the maximum vertical distance the Point Controller can be shifted without losing its properties as a fulcrum point.
Increasing this value can be necessary for fixing some errors in AutoPhysics simulations.

The default value is 1.

Joint Extra Attributes

This behavior defines how a Joint is processed when the scene is exported.
It also can only be attached to Joints.

Joint type
Defines the type of the Joint for export.
There are three options available: Root, Limb and LimbNode; the latter is the default value.

In most 3d software (like Maya or Blender) this parameter is ignored, but some programs - such as Daz Studio - make use of it. In Daz in particular, the root Joint should have its Joint type set to Root, while every other Joint should be a LimbNode.

Kinematic Mesh Collision

Mesh Object

This behavior contains various parameters for Meshes.

Render layer
This defines how the mesh object is rendered in the scene:
Ghosted means the object’s Ghosts are drawn on top of the object itself (so they won’t be obscured by it).
Mesh means the object’s Ghosts are not drawn at all.
Reference means the mesh is rendered as a reference object: semi-transparent and behind all other objects.
By default, the Ghosted option is used.

Is transparent
If this is enabled, the mesh object is rendered as transparent.

Is both side
If this is enabled, the mesh object is rendered two-sided (i.e. it is always visible regardless of the view angle).

It is applied to Joints and Meshes.

Ik
If this is enabled, the object won’t inherit transformation from its parent.

Ik/fk behavior
Sets the kind of kinematics to use: inverse (the IK option), forward (FK), or whatever of the two is set on the Timeline (From Timeline).

Enforce fk in interpolation
If this option is enabled, forward kinematics will be used for the point on the interpolation intervals.

Point Update Settings

This behavior controls how Point Controllers should be updated to reflect user input.
It is applied exclusively to prototype Rig Elements and can only be accessed in the Rig Mode.

Bind with parent
If this is enabled, the prototype (and the corresponding elements of the rig) is connected to its parent in a ‘rigid’ way.
For example, a part of a character's body should be bound to its parent: if it moves, other body parts should also move accordingly.
On the other hand, a separate object (like something the character holds in his hand) should not be bound to the parent, even though it is hierarchically connected to the character.
Enabled by default.

Additional affects parent
If this is enabled, moving the Additional Controller could change the position on the rig element.
Otherwise, only rotation is affected.
In standard Cascadeur rigs, this option is enabled for the characters' heads and disabled for other elements of the rig.

Fk on frame
If this is enabled, the rig element would follow its parent object.
Mostly used for objects characters hold in their hands (tools, weapons etc.).

Polygon View

If this behavior is added to a Box Controller, the controller is rendered as a polygon.
Like Triangle View, this feature is not yet production ready and should not be used in the current version of Cascadeur.

Preserved Data

This behavior is used for saving parameters attached to the objects when the Rig Mode is enabled.
Once the Rig Mode is disabled, this behavior is used to restore the parameters it saves to their original values.

Proto Box

This behavior is attached to the Box Controllers that are used to control Twist joints. It contains various Twist-related parameters:

Twist strength
A value that dictates how much of the base rotation is transferred to the twist. For example, a value of 0.5 translates to 50% of transferred rotation.

Twist axis
A vector setting that dictates from which axis of the linked joint the rotation is inherited and to which axis of the twist Box controller the rotation passes.
Note that the joint and Box controllers may have different rotation orientations, so you may need to adjust the input and output axes in the twist after rig generation.

Twist uses joint rotation
When this setting is on, the twist inherits rotation from the joint that it’s linked to. If the setting is off, the rotation is inherited from the Box controller that the linked joint is rigged with, which may have an orientation that differs from the joint’s.
Disabled by default.

Enabled by default.

SplineIK

This behavior contains parameters for the SplineIK object.

Joints
The list of Joints that form the SplineIK object.

Points
The list of Point Controllers that are influenced by the SplineIK object.

SplineIK Settings

This behavior contains a set of parameters for SplineIK.
It is exclusive to the SplineIK object. This object is not visible in the Viewport, but can be found in the Outliner.

Active
If this is enabled, the SplineIK controller would affect the character’s pose.

Offset box visibility
?

Technical Links

This behavior contains a list of links to prototype rig objects.
It is used in the Rig Mode, and attached to proto objects.

It is applied to prototype rig elements.

Texture Container

This behavior is attached to objects that have Textures (link) associated with them.

Start frame
Sets the frame from which the texture plays if it is animated, i.e. a sequence of images.
If the texture is not animated, leave this at 0.

Texture path
A path to the texture file on the disk.

Tool Fixation

This behavior is used to fix Point Controllers using the AutoPosing tool.
It is applied to Point Controllers.

Tool fixed
If this is enabled, the Point is fixed.

Trajectory Customization

This behavior is used to set custom parameters for rendering Trajectories.
Currently, it has one parameter:

Global direction
Sets the direction (i.e. the spatial orientation) of the Trajectory object.

Transform

This behavior defines how the object is positioned in the scene. Most of the scene objects have this behavior (the exception being Edges and custom objects created using Node Editor).

Global position
The coordinates of the object in the global space.

Local position
The coordinates of the object in the local space in relation to its parent?

Global rotation
The rotation of the object across three global coordinate axes.

Local rotation
The object’s rotation across three local coordinate axes
This is specific for three-dimensional objects:

• Joints
• Box Controllers
• Meshes

Local scale
The scale of the object. Specific for the objects that can be scaled:

• Joints
• Box Controllers
• Meshes

Triangle View

When this behavior is attached to a Box Controller, the controller is rendered as a triangle.
This is an experimental feature that is not production ready and should not be used in the current version of Cascadeur.

Twist

This behavior designates an object as a Twist Joint.
It is applied to Joints and has no parameters.

Untwist

This behavior designates an object as an Untwist Joint.
It is applied to Joints and has no parameters.
