Getting Started - Cine Designer UE5 Tutorial

[@ayby17]

Are you still working on Cine Tracer? I spend € 75 on it and it's still in development, would be nice if it got finished.

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Cine Tracer is still being developed, this is for people who use UE5. This is also likely the foundation of a UE5 version of Cine Tracer.

[@UnbleachedMuslin]

@@CinematographyDatabase I was wondering the same thing. Cinetracer has been quiet for a few months but now I see why. Things are in the works.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Good stuff brother congrats on the launch 🤙🏿

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Thanks, funny timing on the Space mouse too :)

[@JonathanWinbush]

@@CinematographyDatabase haha for sure but I do like my space mouse it's pretty solid

[@video4ai]

Thank you so much! I love it!

[@SahakSahakian]

I just bought it and some of the lighting looks crazy different from what you show here. Hopefully it will be fxed when updated to UE5.3? Thanks in advance.

I bought the Steam version, but there is no ability to transfer files to UNREAL. Now there is a version of your program for Unreal? Will we be able to access this version for UNREAL if we bought the STEAM version? Do you know if CINE TRACER 2 is still a product you are improving?

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Follow the Cine Tracer KZbin/Instagram channels, there have been a lot of updates to Cine Tracer 2 in the last few months. This UE5 Asset Pack is a separate product, there is no way of linking a Steam purchase to an Unreal Engine Marketplace product. Cine Tracer / Cine Tracer 2 has film equipment, environments, actors, clothing, etc. This UE5 Asset pack is just film equipment and it requires knowing how to use Unreal Engine. There was in the past way before Cine Tracer this same kit for Maya and Cinema 4D.

Seems like great stuff. Is there any discount (or something like an update) for Cine Tracer buyers , as this seems to the same but for UE5 and Lumen ?

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Cine Tracer (Steam/UE4) will updated to have a lot of this new equipment. There is no way for me relate a Cine Tracer user (Valve/Steam) to an Unreal Marketplace user and the license for Marketplace assets is completely different than Cine Tracer. For example you can use these Cine Designer assets in games/apps etc. you make in Unreal Engine 5.

Hola Matt, I'm a media lab tech at my local college and we are moving our photo program into more video production/content creation. Is there or will there, in the future be an option to buy a license to this or Cine tracer? We have about 30 macs in our computer lab that'd I'd love to install these programs onto to make them available to our students.

[@EastonOliver]

Will a UE store pack be easier/ faster for iteration and updates than a steam release?

[@CinematographyDatabase]

If you are directly comparing Cine Designer to Cine Tracer (Steam), I would say that Cine Designer for now is ONLY grip and lighting so I can focus on making additions to the lighting system more frequently. Compared to Cine Tracer, I have many systems (cameras, set building, maps, MetaHumans, clothing, grip, lighting, props) that each get updated basically one at a time.

Drat i just bought cine tracer an hour ago and i come across this. Did i make a mistake

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Cine Tracer is a stand alone app/game, Cine Designer is a UE5 asset pack. A decent amount of filmmakers will use both. CT usually for fast quick projects, UE5 for bigger jobs where you might be working other UE5 people.

[@eobeniche]

that's why I was looking for in cite tracer at the beginning !! but finally I'll not using it.. and I need this one

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Unreal Engine 5 is very new and it’s lighting technology is perfect for filmmakers. There will be a UE5 version of Cine Tracer some day, but UE5 Editor will always have the latest tech and more features.

[@gkochanowsky]

Is Cine Designer deprecated?
