Cine Tracer 2

Abandoned.

When it works, Cine Tracer 2 is a fantastic pre-viz software and one with a LOT of potential. As a low-to-no-budget filmmaker it certainly has a good place in my work flow. It's relatively easy to use and doesn't require hours of training to master. And in my particular area of filmmaking, easy-to-use software is always a plus. In fact, I've spent years trying to find a good pre-viz software for my work and all of them have fallen short... including this one! But this one comes close. First, I wanna touch on the fact that the software hasn't received any significant updates in a loooooooong time and I can't seem to find any news about what's going on. Knowing that it's a one-man show developing it and he has to do it in his spare time, it's easy to show leniency. However, I'm starting to get the feeling that this software has been abandoned. Frankly, I'm still not sure why we even needed a Cine Tracer 2 considering Cine Trace 1 wasn't even finished and, yet, felt surprisingly more complete. There were more options, props, locations to choose from--overall the first build was much better in my opinion. I especially miss the very large City location that was very detailed and wo…

I’m using a MacBook Pro M1 and there are a lot of bugs. Projects that you spend hours or even days on don’t load properly. Characters disappear, textures fail to load — everything breaks. As a professional, you simply can’t rely on it, especially when paid client work is involved.

Cine Tracer 1 was such a promising tool, but it's been abandoned and now both Cine Tracer 1 and 2 are useless, severely limited, and ultimately frustrating. If this was $15-20 it might be understandable, but to charge such a high price and then gut the tool and leave it completely unusable for those who purchased is unforgiveable.

Game appears to have been abandoned by the developer - a real shame.

As a film maker, this is a game changer. Never have I been more excited to storyboard/figure out lighting in my life. This is so creative and user friendly. A feature to change size of object (unless i'm missing something) would be a great add. Adding a locking to other objects feature would be cool, also a ruler for size comparison. I used this to completely remake a set I was using for a shoot and getting the measurements close to accurate was difficult. All in all, amazing product and worth the money in my opinion.
