Natural Feature Tracking |
||
|
CinCraft Scenario’s biggest differentiator is natural feature tracking. This allows the system to be used anywhere where there is enough “detail” in the surrounding space, like for example brick walls, window frames and more. This is particularly useful outside or when shooting on sets that aren’t designed for virtual production. |
Reflective Marker Tracking |
||
|
CinCraft Scenario can track non-randomly placed reflective markers. The system’s infrared (IR) emitter allows the markers to be seen in the darkest of stages and the consistency of the markers allows for minimal operational support. On top of this, CinCraft Scenario software provides an interactive guide to ensure optimal marker placement when setting up. |
Digital Marker Tracking |

|
ZEISS CinCraft Scenario provides camera tracking data for use in all major applications – no matter if it is for real-time or post-production workflows – adding yet another layer of flexibility |
Traditional VFX |
||
|
CinCraft Scenario allows for recording the camera tracking data during the production phase and handing it over to post-production. Having tracking data available quickly and easily in post-production can significantly reduce time and effort – especially in matchmoving. That means that camera tracking is now a major benefit to all productions involving VFX. |
Live Compositing |
||
|
For live compositing for previsualization or in a virtual studio, CinCraft Scenario provides real-time camera tracking data to neatly replace the green or blue screen on site. For these applications, knowing about the camera position and movement is not only an added value but a must. |
Virtual Production |
||
|
As with live compositing, camera tracking is an absolute must for virtual production in LED volumes. Knowing how the camera and lens are moving and behaving is vital to correctly render the visual effects in real-time, that means getting the perspective and parallax right. |
Plug and Play |
||
|
The integration of the ZEISS CinCraft lens characteristics database in the form of Virtual Lens Packages allows to skip the cumbersome lens calibration process: CinCraft Scenario is plug and play when used with ZEISS and ARRI/ZEISS cinema lenses. Still, CinCraft Scenario will be usable with any lens. |
Operation is a Breeze |
||
|
CinCraft Scenario’s self-explanatory user interface and wizards guide the user for setting up the hardware configuration and tracking on a film set in every environment and scenario. Additional tutorials will help to educate operators, that are new to the system and make it easy to learn and master. |
CinCraft Cambar |
||
|
The camera-mounted camera bar captures raw data via the Scenario software. It's small, lightweight and includes an integrated IR emitter and synchronization technology to allow for tracking in different environments. |
CinCraft Origin |
||
|
The system’s center piece runs the Scenario software to set up and perform camera tracking. It aggregates raw data from CinCraft CamBar, computes position and movement in real-time and can save this data for post-production. |
CinCraft Link |
||
|
The small and lightweight device receives raw data from CamBar and transmits it over a wired network connection to Origin which is setup elsewhere. It can be rigged on the main camera instead of the Origin and helps keep the tracking hardware’s footprint to a minimum. |

CinCraft Scenario
The base software that operates the CinCraft Scenario system. It aggregates info received from CamBar to compute position and movement in real-time. It requires very little setup time and is plug and play when used with CinCraft Virtual Lens Packages.
CinCraft Wrangler
Wrangler records real-time tracking data and camera and lens metadata on the CinCraft Origin's internal drive. Data is recorded with a proprietary file format (herd file) that can be extracted using CinCraft Export.
CinCraft ExportExport is a separate, free of charge software running on the VFX artists’ workstations. It translates recorded herd files into formats readable by most common post-production VFX software (Nuke, Maya, Unreal, etc.).
CinCraft UE ConnectUE Connect provides an easy-to-configure interface to Unreal Engine, enabling the use of real-time tracking data provided by CinCraft Scenario. UE Connect is available for free via the Epic Marketplace.
