Cine Tracer v0.7.9

About The Game

What if you could practice lighting a film set without leaving your desk? Cine Tracer, a 2026 simulation game from Matt Workman and Cinematography Database, makes that possible. Designed by a cinematographer for filmmakers, the game strips away the abstraction of traditional 3D software and replaces it with familiar video game controls. You move through a virtual world using WASD keys or a gamepad, placing lights, adjusting camera angles, and directing actors just as you would on a real set. It is part training tool, part creative playground, and entirely focused on the art of visual storytelling.

NOTE. Uploaded version: 12 April 2026 [v0.7.9 Build 11061267]. This is Early Access Release and latest version of game. The game is already Pre-Installed and ready to run, read the instruction below.

The latest version introduces ray tracing support for even more realistic lighting and reflections, along with a larger library of maps, props, and talent options. Simulation accuracy extends to the physics of camera movement, so a dolly push feels different from a handheld shot. You can export your work as storyboards or reference images for actual production, bridging the gap between pre visualization and final output. The sandbox environment encourages trial and error, making it ideal for learning lighting ratios, lens choices, and blocking. Whether you are a student, a professional, or just someone who loves the craft of cinema, you can download the game and step into the director's chair.
