Cascadeur, a unique 3D animation software that first hit beta back in 2020 just released version 2022.1 EA. The EA stands for early access, which mostly just means the software is available with a 50% discount until full release. Cascadeur uses a combination of physics and machine learning to make animation easier. Cascadeur is available for Windows and Linux with Mac versions coming soon.

- Improvements to the AutoPosing tools including a new Direction Controller and better performing IK system
