Testing new software for animation.

Learning new software called Cascadeur. I found this tool when DAZ3D keep on crashing on me while I'm doing my work lol. A software mostly specialize in animating keyframe. It's great for making base animation and can be exported to DAZ3D for further fixing. It's a free tool, however, in other to export to other format (such as .fbx), you need to subscribe to it monthly.
So far, I can animate a lot more easier in Cascadeur than the constantly crashing DAZ3D haha 😄. Thought, as I said earlier, the software is mostly use for animating. It lacks a proper render tool and not as customizable as other software available. It is however very simple for beginners, which is great. It also have an auto physic system called AutoPose, where it calculate the keyframe used and adjust the animation output to look more "realistic" movement. No soft body but use actual bone/armature movement to calculate physics.
Here you can see there's 2 model. The one in grey (right) is the animation keyframe I made, and the green one (left) is AutoPose. Funny to say, it doesn't look much difference since the original keyframes lack exaggeration movement, so the AutoPose only adjust a little😅. It's a nice tool overall but I still need to learn more about it. Hopefully it can help me accelerate my animation work in the future 😄
