is cascadeur good or should I just learn normal animation?

Both.
Cascadeur is a good example of AI helping the artist instead of trying to replace him, it'll help you with secondary motion, decent center of gravity and other annoying grunt work, but it will absolutely not help you with good timing, good keyframing and good posing.

pros don't want too much efficiency. why would you accept a thing which will make you less powerful?

i used it in production. it works fine, kinda janky. very quick and easy to get keyframes done, but lacks a lot of fine control. i just needed quick animations done over a short period of time and it worked. actual animators would probably hate this program

it's not for pro animators, it's for generalists and

because the pros have established tools, pipelines and competency with autodesk software. Cascadeur has a some neat features, but it's too much trouble to swap over

The only thing pros know is the autodesk pipeline and when that is no longer the standard, they'll flip their shit.

Your failure is never learning how to learn things. So now you will lash out at anyone even mentioning that things might change. Pathetic. Go cry to the jannies like you did last time, they'll protect their little baby anon.

what if learning things isn't even real? does it really seem possible to learn something? i think if you really thought about it, we aren't learning anything, because learning things is like an illusion.

If you do not understand the difference between learning and memorizing information, then kys.

interesting discussion guys now lets refocus back on topic
Cascadeur is bad because the handles system is poorly communicated visually and the chain system on non-humanoids is not only bad, but incredibly confusing. It is a good first step in artist assistance, but it would be better with a Software bridge for a majority of posing.

Their documentation and tutorials are also pretty terrible. It's like the company is not even trying at this point to build a user base. Their reddit is dead, too.

Animation Unbaking in
@Cascadeur_soft
. This feature turns a baked animation (where each frame is a keyframe) into a set of keyframes and interpolations of various types. This allows you to clean up the #mocap and make it editable. Coming soon!
early march they said

If you are a 3d artist who just wants to animate his models or make passable animations for his game then go for it, I was able to make okayish stuff with 0 experience in just a few hours, making rigs was pretty easy too
If you are serious about animation I don't recommend it

Anyone used the mocap feature much? Im finding it works really well for the upper body, but leg tracking is kind of iffy, and a lot of the time it will keep the hips nearly locked in place, even if the video has me doing the chad stride across the whole frame.

Apparently I got a free 2 year indie license for having registered last year, but finally decided to try it out. Right now using blender/unity, but curious what the work flow will be since cascadeur does movement, but I use uv textures for blinks/mouths. Animate general motion and then animate the face afterward?

Make it do a cartwheel (human body edition) otherwise it's completely useless because if it can't do that then it can't do anything.

Your license becomes permanent for that version after a year, right?

Is Cascadeur AI even?
I thought it's a bunch of IK + physics simulation + black magic under the hood.
It's essentially the same thing Euphoria was back in the Xbox 360 days:
