How does it work?

Cinematographer is a layer on top of the default Unreal Cine Camera. It can do everything the default camera can – but is far easier to use and creates photorealistic results out of the box.

While the Unreal default camera expects you to set dozens of settings independently from each other, even if they would be impossible in real life, Cinematographer works as a system. It connects all the settings that influence each other in reality and sets physical limits where needed. This leads to exceptionally realistic results while being simultaneously faster and easier to use.

Do you need a gorgeous looking cinema camera, the realistic look of your phone, or the creepy and cheap look of a security camera? Just use a camera preset and get instant photorealistic results that fit your desired mood – consistent over shots, scenes and projects.

Is Cinematographer hard to use?

It is exactly as intricate as you need it to be!

New to Unreal, new to cameras or both?

If you want stunning photorealistic results without any input, just drop a Cinematographer camera into the scene and the new Auto-Exposure will take care from there on out. No further input needed and everything stays photorealistic and physically correct.

Do you have a good understanding of cameras already?

Great! Just drop a Cinematographer camera into the scene and put it into manual mode, and you will feel right at home. Fine tune your shots with all the settings you find on real life cameras to get the most out of every frame!

Are you a professional who needs to match Unreal Engine footage with real life recordings?

That’s where our PRO version comes in. Easily recreate digital copies of your real life cameras and lenses and get matching results in Unreal. Less post production and higher quality visuals with a consistent look through your whole project.
