Cinematically Aware Cameras. Unreal Speed. Real Results.

Black Eye gives you the power of an entire crew of virtual camera operators — all following your creative direction in real time. From instant previs to polished gameplay and layout tools, it’s a whole new way to design, iterate, and deliver cinematic camera work inside Unreal.

Who’s it for?

Gameplay Designers

Build smart, responsive cameras that adapt to gameplay – from third-person to driving, RTS, FPS, and more. Tweak in play mode and save instantly.

Cutscene Artists

Design once, deploy anywhere. Black Eye cameras adapt to character scale, speed, and scene changes – perfect for flexible, cinematic storytelling even with variable scenarios.

Previs Artists

Create a bank of Black Eye shots – wide, close-up, drone, cowboy – and assemble them as clips on Sequencer. Rearrange and retime them without reanimating cameras. Each shot dynamically adapts to character changes and layout tweaks, so your edit stays flexible and you can get closer to the story.

Mocap Studios • Esports • Multiplayer

When you need a full crew of camera operators – without the crew. Black Eye gives you real-time, director-level control across live mocap stages, esports events, and dynamic multiplayer games.

🙋FAQ

What does Black Eye do?

It replaces tedious keyframing with smart, responsive cameras. Set your framing, distance, and composition – Black Eye handles the rest in real time. Think of it as your own crew of virtual camera operators.

How do I know if I need this?

If you’re tracking anything that moves – in gameplay, cutscenes, mocap, or previs – Black Eye gives you faster workflows, instant iteration, and effortless experimentation. It’s a whole new way to work with cameras.

Is this a new type of UE camera?

Nope. It’s an animation layer that sits on top of Unreal’s Standard or CineCam, so it’s fully compatible with postFX, lenses, and auto-focus. Whatever you’ve got going on with your UE camera won’t change, Black Eye will help you animate it.
