That's called IK you dumb fuck. We don't need a robot to randomly misplace something and make our jobs harder.

Also 120 joints limit?!?!?! You do understand that's only good enough for basic character and not advance ones with weapons, hair or clothing. Actually i think they knew it wouldn't work with unknown items so they put that limit on there. The A.I isn't smart, it doesn't know the difference between a sword and fire torch.

So, no I don't think this will change things when it's too dumb to do things.

I think it's great for basic animations. Like if you want to create animations for the UE mannequins. It helps create a natural movement.

I'm mostly interested in its secondary motion capabilities, those are always a PITA to animate manually. Cautiously optimistic about the "physically correct" adjustments, I plan to do first person animations mostly and there's a LOT of exaggeration and unnaturally fast movement used to make those look good.

Cascadeur is best described as a "bad, dead software"

Anonymous at Tue, 20 Jun 2023 14:02:00 UTC No. 948897

> physically based
That's the part I don't understand. Does it refer to the interpolation thing between keyframes or is also related to the style of animation you will end up with. Meaning that Cascadeur is a bad software for characters stylized animations?

You can add objects/ weapons and attach them to the auto poser on the pins. It’s not very intuitive but it’s also pretty early in development.

Yes but does it know the difference between a swing bat and sword swing. No, the A.I only assumes things it has in the database not how you liked it to work.

Exactly.
Do a quick first pass in Cascadeur, then import into proper animation program for finishing touches.

Eventually this kind of technology will be integrated into Maya, etc...

Hey retard nobody claims this is a replacement for mocap.

You can't do proper mocap at home and only AAA studios have their own rig.
So that leaves downloading mocap animation from mixamo and blending a bunch of them together so you have what you want.
This sucks ass for anyone having a specific purpose in mind and it's next to impossible for anything except realistic humanoid characters.
Adding physics to armature animation workflow is a godsend and the only shame is that this isn't available except in this obscure proprietary software.

Mocap isn't perfect but at least it's not junk like A.I where it just guess 90% of the time. The thing can't do a spin without messing up, a noob can do that with Blender.

You know the A.I sucks when a blender noob can spin a cube and A.I can't.

I told you the A.I isn't smart, the whole thing made rookie mistakes while some 10 year old free program like MMD is better at detecting body changes.

There were couple people in the last thread too that didn't understand the difference between wiggle bones, etc and this.
What it does is it makes sure is that the center of mass of the character is roughly above the feet or foot on the ground and taking into account momentum.
Sure you can replicate this process by hand if you add all the physics and constraints (have fun making a spreadsheet ^^) to your model and repeatedly bake them and re-apply and tweak.
At some point you'd wanna automate the process with a script and then congratulations you've taken the first step in re-inventing what cascadeur does.

Requires outdated and overcost NVIDIA® Quadro series. VS RTX 4080 ; $1199 and works.

You call that advancement?! That's useless machine hardware that can't do anything, that NVIDIA had in their storage, being useless.

No one is going to buy these dumb Quadro series.

>>949825
What the heck are you talking about, adding physics to the body model causes problems. You can see noob MMD of gravity being in default. In fact Maya doesn't even touch the model when gravity is apply, no one does this to the body model. What the fk told you it's ok to do that.

No you are trying to make gravity work into the body model.

>Sure you can replicate this process by hand if you add all the physics and constraints (have fun making a spreadsheet ^^) to your model and repeatedly bake them and re-apply and tweak.

by bake, you mean the body and not the extra items because it's kinda dumb to skin the entire model. Plus MMD modeling process is different than Maya and Blender, only one program can make PMM or PMX so just trying to apply stuff from Maya or blender will not work.

It doesn't process on that notion you have to anime the object before hand and then you have to adjist the auto physics accordngky, and that's the same protocol per object basis. It's not some kind of auto silver bullet.

It's not an anticipatory algorithm/ crawler, if anything its using enhanced interpolation and guided physics from the proprietary rig, and you can still customise said rig to sort weighting per transform side. It's an IK/FK bullet solver on steroids:

I can't help but feel the whole cascadeur premise is doom to fail in quite short time frame.

AI animation is going to be a big thing. AI can already do dynamic locomotion animation and physics can be enabled, so you will have AI powered physically accurate animations running at runtime on game engine.
You don't need another animation software to "bake" physics into animation.
