Creating a Horse rig in Cascadeur

[@SolarTara]

I looked up Cascedeur Quadruped tutorials a few months ago and there was nothing, I wasn't ready to animate yet. This tutorial couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks for this, I hope you do more in depth and detailed guides like this for more Quadrupeds!!!!

[@Zixea_a]

This is so funny, this is actually the same exact blender metarig I was gonna convert to cascadeur. (Different horse model though) so this is quite literally the most helpful tutorial I could have found.

[@anything_x]

Thank you! Please more of Cascadeur tutorials!

[@DirkTeucher]

Fantastic tutorial. I hope you do more quadruped tutorials or just more short tutorials like this one that show how to use the features.

[@empireanimator]

Thanks man it helped me a lot 🎉

[@SuperMontana2008]

wow, please more creature rigging tuts!

[@huguesramiandrisoa9454]

Thx, your tutorial is always useful and very clear and easy to follow💯💯

[@IdaFaber]

Just exactly what I needed! Thank you a lot for a great tut! Would be really helpful to see how to animate a rider as well.

[@MrCshx]

That was very useful. Thank you.

[@TorQueMoD]

Great video! Thanks for sharing :)

why the joints not green?

[@TheHighFlys]

Please more cascadeur tutorials!

[@Hlebushek-ql1ei]

In my case i cant mirror the limbs. Error^ C:\Program Files/Cascadeur/resources/scripts/python\prototypes\mirror_actions\actions.py(268): create_mirror Does anybody know what to do?

not undestand me how me not working the spline arc code

[@Impaczus43]

Awesome tutorial! been looking for something like this! Thank you. I just have one question. Let's say you have this rigged horse and wants to add a human character riding on top of it reacting and bouncing to the physics, how could that be achieved?

[@AronNemeth95]

Thank you :) That's a great question and would be interesting to try it out. My first guess would be to create a composite center of mass for the horse and the human. Then change the secondary motion for almost every point controller (except the feet probably).

[@Impaczus43]

@@AronNemeth95 creating a composite center of mass for both characters is a genius idea I've never really thought about! Thank you for that response!

[@AronNemeth95]

You need to select the COM of both characters and Commands> Center of mass> Create composite. I have a video about working with two characters. Might be also useful) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZioZaOjitGAjdU

Is there a way to make auto posing work with this!?

[@AronNemeth95]

Unfortunately no(

[@redasdfmovies6585]

So When I turn on Auto Pose, there isn't the points for me to click on. Nothing shows up and my model is just blank.

[@AronNemeth95]

Auto posing is only available for humanoid characters which were rigged with the quick rigging tool. (At least for now.)

Can you share your horse model ?

[@mariospaghet]

Can you make tut how to rig a fish?

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Sir do you think you could do spiders and fantasy creatures? Like a Centaur for example? Or a Dragon?

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Sorry to bother you so much, but also could you please do a tutorial in Cascadeur 2024 for this Horse setup unless the process hasn't changed too much?

[@AronNemeth95]

The process is still pretty much the same in the current version. I have done dragons, but since it was a project under NDA I wasn't allowed to share it, but it is definitely doable.

[@jackle7896]

I'd love to see a spider rig

[@mittendiscmedia3835]

I’m working on one now 😅

[@nwotyzarc]

Do you create animations in Cascadeur just for the model your working on, or can you reuse them? Like applying an animation to another model that you import ?

[@AronNemeth95]

If the models use the same armature you can apply the animation for different characters.

[@nwotyzarc]

@@AronNemeth95 and if they don't have the exact same armature. But a similar one (also humanoid)with same bone amount etc ?

[@AronNemeth95]

@@nwotyzarc It should have the same hierarchy and bone names. Otherwise you can try retargeting the animation in another software. 😕

[@nwotyzarc]

@@AronNemeth95 ah okay I see. Thanks! :) And when I have a character with same rig hierachy and naming, but he has extra bones (for example some clothing bones, that needs to be animated) could I apply my previous animations to the humanoid? And adjust the clothes in key frames accordingly. Or would unassigned bones cause problems and I would need to create a new animation for him?

[@AronNemeth95]

@@nwotyzarc I think it should work as long as the additional bones are at the end of the hierarchy. So you didn't add any bones between existing ones.

Can you please place a rider and do animatuin
