The tool used to create the freecams seen in the SmireBoule R3 ET Trailer has today been released to the public. Camtrace3d by gg67 allows moviemakers to have more power over scripted cameras ingame. The tool has already been tested privately be many moviemakers, being used in movies such as Event Horrizon² and Marred 3. This is a summary of what ct3D can do:


- Ability to create camera paths and to modify them as you wish.
- Import camera/entities coordinates generated from the game
- Define curve duration.
- Launch a specific demo with custom configuration directly from the software.

The Software can be found here.
