Cine Tracer - a cinematography “video game”

[Oliver Daniel]

Came across this very cool looking “video game”  called Cine Tracer which allows you to play cinematographer and use the built in tools to create pre-visualisations for your films. Lighting, compositions, sets, actors... all that stuff. 

I’ve not used it but I could imagine it has great potential. 

Anyone had a go? 

Do you think it could be a useful tool? 

A sign of the future?

Wow! It looks cool and could be useful, but it's only really for mega-high end cinematographers. I feel like it's overkill for anyone who doesn't use a jetpack on set.

I think it will turn more heads once it gets raytracing and bug fixes. It has great potential, the developer has tons of cool content showcasing previs work on his IG

I am a bit of a Matt Workman fan (the creator of cine tracer) because of his old YouTube channel where he explained the lighting for famous movies and music videos. Unfortunately it was taken down because of copyrighted material.

When it comes to Cine Tracer, it looks very promising with ray tracing. If it works halfway decent I think I'll get it. I'm used to making maps for old shooter games and the process seems similar which should make it rather fast as soon as you're familiar with the tool.

I think I’d get too addicted to this. Lighting, on a video game? Geek out!
