Camera profiles built for movement

Vehicles need more than a rear follow camera. CineWolf uses movement direction, lead space, and available anchors to make the frame feel connected to the machine.

Vehicle-aware framing

Anchor the shot to what is moving

Vehicle Profile can work with common vehicle-style entities and soft local classification. Specialised integrations are always labelled separately, so a planned profile never masquerades as a shipped dependency.

Profile catalogue

Vehicles, anchors, and shot intent

Each profile lists the framing anchors and shot ideas it is designed to support. Heuristic classification is shown plainly so it can be reviewed in the replay.

Vehicle profileProfile

Vanilla minecarts

Minecart-aware framing can use the vehicle’s movement direction for profile, chase, and trackside-style compositions.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Coupling, Wheel
Shot ideas
Vehicle Profile, Side Tracking, Chase, Flyby

Built-in vehicle profiling supports vanilla minecart-style entities.

Vehicle profileProfile

Minecart trains

Long train compositions need anchors that communicate direction, consist length, and track context rather than a single generic offset.

Anchors
Train front, Train rear, Coupling, Side, Trackside focus
Shot ideas
Train flyover, Trackside camera, Vehicle Profile, Side Tracking

Generic train-like framing can be used when a vehicle is resolved; a named Minecart Chain Train provider is planned as an optional integration.

Vehicle profileProfile

Aircraft

Aircraft compositions can favour direction, lead space, and anchor-based views over a standard entity follow path.

Anchors
Cockpit, Wing, Engine, Rear, Runway focus
Shot ideas
Wing camera, Chase, Flyby, Runway camera, Vehicle Profile

Generic aircraft-style profiling is heuristic; a named aircraft provider is planned as an optional integration.

Vehicle profileProfile

Boats

Boat footage benefits from lateral movement, a readable wake direction, and a low profile composition.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Cockpit
Shot ideas
Side Tracking, Follow, Flyby, Vehicle Profile

Built-in vehicle profiling recognises boat-style entities.

Vehicle profileProfile

Mounts

Mounted movement can be framed around the rider, the mount, or the direction of travel.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Cockpit
Shot ideas
Follow, Chase, Side Tracking, Close Detail

Built-in vehicle profiling recognises common mount-style entities.

Vehicle profileProfile

Zip-lines

Zip-line footage calls for parallel, low-angle, top-down, and station-to-station framing options.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Station focus
Shot ideas
Parallel tracking, Low-angle view, Top-down view, Flyby

A named zip-line provider is planned as an optional integration; this is not a compatibility claim for a specific mod release.

Vehicle profileProfile

Generic modded vehicles

Soft providers can classify vehicle-like entities from available local metadata without making another mod a hard dependency.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Center, Custom
Shot ideas
Vehicle Profile, Side Tracking, Chase, Follow

Support is profile- and heuristic-based, so unusual modded entities can require manual review of the generated framing.

Third-party vehicle providers

Provider-specific anchors can make a specialised vehicle composition more precise without coupling CineWolf to every vehicle mod.

Anchors
Front, Rear, Side, Cockpit, Wing, Engine, Wheel, Coupling
Shot ideas

Provider integrations are optional and remain a planned expansion area.

Optional ecosystem outlook

Specialised profiles stay optional

These optional PeterWolf ecosystem profiles are planned expansion points. CineWolf does not claim that a named provider is installed, required, or currently shipped.
