CineGuru MAX is an updated and improved GameGuru MAX compatible version of the revolutionary, and highly praised asset and script pack, originally developed for GameGuru Classic. Cine|Guru MAX gives you the tools to create your own in-game cinematics and scripted sequences for GameGuru MAX games. Fully upgraded to take advantage of the additional power of GameGuru MAX, you'll find everything from fully-controllable cameras to actors that move, perform and speak according to your instructions. CineGuru gives you the power to create stunning story sequences, all without barely touching any code.

As with the original GameGuru Classic version, CineGuru MAX continues our collaboration between coding genius AmenMoses and award-winning filmmaker Avenging Eagle, who together form Tanner Productions
"With Cine|Guru we set out to create a pack, crammed with features, that is simple enough for anyone to use, from seasoned film makers looking to direct engaging machinima cinematics, to beginners simply wanting to place a security camera in their level. Behind the frankly mind-boggling maths was a desire to create a set of tools to enable anyone, of any skill level, to create and do as much of that creation right in the editor as possible."
