Our take on Cine Tracer
Its defining structure is a single-player open sandbox in which scenes, sets, camera arrangements, and lighting setups are created freely instead of completed through a fixed campaign.
What is Cine Tracer?
Cine Tracer is a single-player cinematography simulator with an open-world sandbox structure.
Players operate cameras based on real-world film equipment, set up lights, and direct talent or actors while creating scenes and sets. The environments are built in Unreal Engine 4. The sandbox allows players to create different kinds of scenes, camera arrangements, and lighting setups without following a fixed scenario. Cine Tracer is designed by cinematographer Matt Workman of Cinematography Database. Purchasing this app also provides Cine Tracer 2 for free.
