And since—according to Workman—95% of directors, DPs, and art departments are Mac users, having a sufficiently performant Mac OS workstation that Cine Tracer can run to full capacity on is critical. When it comes to hardware, another factor of interest is the controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who developed CineStyle Profile?

The CineStyle Profile was created by Technicolor color scientists and engineers.

Why was CineStyle Profile developed?

Technicolor is responding to industry demand from cinematographers for enhanced flexibility in capturing images from digital cameras.

How does CineStyle Profile help the cinematographer?

The Technicolor CineStyle Profile provides better dynamic range of the captured content. This allows for greater artistic freedom during the color grading process in post-production.

What does CineStyle Profile do to the image?

When the Technicolor CineStyle Profile is selected in the camera, video images are recorded in log space. In layman’s terms, though the image will appear flat and de-saturated, there is actually more detail retained in the shadows and mid-tones which is excellent for color grading.

Although the Technicolor CineStyle Profile was designed and optimized for the Canon EOS-5D Mark II camera, the Technicolor CineStyle can be installed and used on any current Canon EOS DSLR camera.

Cinematographer Matt Workman has released Cine Tracer, an interesting work-in-progress ‘cinematography simulator’ based on Unreal Engine.

The software – half game, half professional tool – enables users to plan shots or capture storyboard frames using virtual sets featuring digital recreations of real-world lights, cameras and props.

The latest build of the software, Cine Tracer 0.33, also introduces support for real-time ray tracing for users working with Nvidia’s new RTX GPUs.

A new Unreal Engine port of Cinema 4D plugin Cine Designer
Cine Tracer began life as Cinema 4D plugin called Cine Designer, designed to enable cinematographers to visualise real-world camera shoots.

Speaking to Ian Failes of befores & afters, Workman commented that the plugin “did really well, for a niche market”, but that the cost and learning curve of DCC software kept it from becomeing mainstream.

Cine Tracer – a port of Cine Designer to Unreal Engine prompted by Epic Games itself – is intended to address both issues, providing users with a lower-cost standalone tool and familiar game-like workflow.



Block out shots virtually using readymade recreations of real-world lights and cameras
The product website describes Cine Tracer as “technically” a game, although it’s more in the mould of a modding toolset, or the creative mode in a sandbox title.

For indie film-makers, it offers the possiblity of carrying out fairly detailed previs work, blocking out shots by creating digital representations of real-world sets using stock 3D characters and props.

The software also includes pre-built representations of a range of real-world lights and camera types.

Users can adjust lighting colour and intensity – Cine Tracer works in lumens, although it’s a guide to real-world lighting, not an accurate representation of it – and camera properties like ISO and focal length.

It’s also possible to pick focus by clicking directly in the viewport.

Once set up, a shot can be previewed with ray traced shadows, reflections, AO, translucency, and GI via the support for Nvidia’s RTX GPU architecture introduced in Unreal Engine 4.22.

As well as rehearsing camera moves, users can capture stills for storyboards, at a range of aspect ratios.
