Usage
The addon can be accessed from the N panel of the 3D Viewport in Blender.
In the add-on preferences, you have the option to set the display name of the N panel. This feature is particularly useful if you want to merge the user interface with a different add-on.
Export to Cascadeur will export the Blender scene and import it to Cascadeur.
Import Action: To import an action into the selected object, first, make sure to select an Armature that exactly matches the one in Cascadeur. This operator will import the Cascadeur scene as an fbx file, apply the imported action to the selected armature, and then delete the imported objects.
Import Scene will simply import the current Cascadeur scene as an fbx file.
Batch Import Similar to “Import Scene” and “Import Action”, but this option allows you to import scenes or actions from all opened scenes in Cascadeur.
Cascadeur Export Settings and Blender Import/Export Settings: The default settings are optimized for typical use, but you might need different settings based on your specific requirements. Adjust the usual Blender FBX export/import settings and the Cascadeur FBX export settings here. Once you find the settings that work for you, remember to click the Save Settings button.
