What is Cine Tracer 2?
Cine Tracer 2 is a pre-production tool for visualizing live-action projects, including short films, commercials, and feature films.
It provides a virtual filmmaking sandbox with a first-person interface, built in Unreal Engine 5. Users can operate it with a gamepad or controller, or with a mouse and keyboard. The included equipment consists of one camera dolly system and a small collection of lighting tools. Two settings are available: a gas station using the Sun, Sky, and Clouds system, and a warehouse stage equipped with a three-wall white cyc and a prepared lighting grid. Virtual actors are built with MetaHumans 2. 0 and have a range of hair options, a small clothing selection, and preset poses. Lighting and reflections use Lumen technology.
