Bridge to Cascadeur

Send a model from the Meshy web app straight into your open Cascadeur scene, ready to animate.

Before you begin

  • You need a Pro plan or higher. On the Free and Starter plans, clicking Send to Cascadeur opens the upgrade options.

  • You need Cascadeur 2026.2.3 or later. For details, see Meshy for Cascadeur.

  1. Open Cascadeur, and create or open a scene.

  2. Click Scripts > Meshy > Start Cascadeur bridge.

Send a model

To send a model to Cascadeur, follow these steps:

  1. In the Meshy web app on a computer, open the model in the viewer. DCC Bridge isn't available on mobile.

  2. In the viewer toolbar, click DCC Bridge (the plug icon).

Meshy sends the model as a GLB file, and Cascadeur imports it into the open scene. For a rigged or animated character, Meshy sends the mesh with its skeleton and skin, ready to animate in Cascadeur. Meshy animations aren't included. You send a model without a rig, such as a prop, the same way.

You can also send a model from these places:

  • In the list of your generations, click Actions (the three-dot icon) on the model's card, and then click DCC Bridge > Send to Cascadeur.

  • In Community, open a model that another user shared, click DCC Bridge, and then click Send to Cascadeur.
