Cascadeur Shortcut & hotkeys
| Shortcut | Instruction |
|---|---|
backtick | Change between global and local mode |
1 | Upper body with root |
2 | Upper body without root |
3 | Right Hand |
4 | Left Hand |
5 | Right Leg |
6 | Left Leg |
7 | Head |
1-7 | We can mix this with other numbers too |
Alt + F | Add one Keyframe |
+ | Increment frame between 2 keys |
In auto pose mode, select any sphere and activate the reactive auto pose for that specific point using
Shift + z
Blueindicates manually adjusting the point.
Greenrepresents auto pose algorithm-supported points.
Dark greensignifies auto pose algorithm-supported points.
Filter keys (Keyframe spacing manipulation)
| Shortcut | Instruction |
|---|---|
G | Move the selected point towards the previous keyframe position. |
L | Move the selected point towards the next keyframe position. |
J | Move objects to their intermediate position between the previous and next frame. |
U | Move objects to their optimal position, calculated based on their nearest frame. |
H | Move the point toward the inertial point, calculated based on the previous frame. |
K | Move the point toward the inertial point, calculated based on the subsequent frame. |
/ | Set the trajectory interval; useful for showing keyframes even when selecting just one keyframe. |
Changing the Axis of Joints
First, select a bunch of joints then right-click to any point and a gizmo will appear there meaning it will be the center of the axis
Pinning a Joint or Point
Select any point and press R, a brown box will appear, and all the joints below that will not be affected by any animation
Easy Posing with "Centers of Mass"
Right click on the Left top Icon beside the camera icon, then Active the Centers of Mass for both VISIBLE & SELECTABLE
Then easily pose with Centers of Mass
Stopping Floor Collision
Select all the points, then from the right-side panel > Floor collision relaxation point> Disable is_active
Tracking the Center of Gravity
Go the settings> settings window> searchcenterOfMassUnselectedGrounder> Switch is on
Scaling Animation
- Drag-select all the keys that need to be scaled.
- Press
Ctrl + T. - Then stretch the interval.
