If you can stand Modo, v11.1 might be an interesting choice now they 
have a Modo<>Unreal bridge built in.

Re: super OT : unreal or unity

[Martin]

If it helps, in the game industry here in Japan both engines are very used. We 
use Unity for mobile and Unreal for big PS4 titles.

I've seen and participated in a few projects that use Unity or Unreal for pre 
rendered movies (render the movie with a real time renderer and add post 
processing and effects later)

Re: super OT : unreal or unity

[Rob Wuijster]

This question is almost the same as Windows or OSX/Linux, iPhone or 
Android etc.

The discussion can turn ugly very quickly ;-)

Both engines deliver stunning work in the right hands, but for a less 
programming savvy person Unreal might be a better choice.

But both have a very active community with a thriving marketplace.

I've dabbled with both and stuck with Unreal for archviz reasons. But 
I'm pretty sure you can do the same in Unity as well.
You already have some experience with Unity now, wouldn't the best thing 
to do is DL'ing Unreal and see if that fits your needs better?


Hope it helps,

Rob

Re: super OT : unreal or unity

[Jonathan Moore]

I’d agree with Angus that Unity is the the more accessible of the two as it has 
a larger support network of users and better documentation. Unreal is the more 
powerful and provides richer looking results out of the box but as Angus states 
you’re going to need C++ programming skills to get past the basics with Unreal. 

One thing that does swing things in Unreal’s favour is that Oculus will cover 
royalty fees for Unreal Engine developers shipping VR experiences via the 
Oculus store for the first $5 million of sales (which at this time covers just 
about every VR release, the market is so small). The Unreal business model 
charges a 5% royalty on gross revenues so it’s good to know that somebody else 
is going to be picking up that particular bill should you produce an experience 
that you want to sell.

RE: super OT : unreal or unity

[Angus Davidson]

If your just starting out. Unity is the better one as it is easier to get into. 
Unreal is more powerful in what it can do and what you can make it do. It just 
take more programming knowledge to get there.

Hi Olivier,
I haven't played that much with Unreal, but it's probably the more powerful of 
both.
On the other side Unity is the challenger, it's getting better ad better, and 
it's pretty easy to dive in.
Also Unity's community is huge and there's always an asset doing anything you 
could miss.
If you're reluctant to scripting I would suggest to have a look at the 
PlayMaker addon for a more visual approach.

All in all, I'd say it all depend of the complexity and target of project.

super OT : unreal or unity

[Olivier Jeannel]

Hi guys,

The work is very calm these days, I'm having a vague desire to have a look
at game engines.
I think I have this old fantasma of working on a video game is coming to
visit me again...


I have started a beautiful shooter space tutorial on unity, I'm starting to
see my limit with the C-sharp language. This is a all new unknown area to
learn, and while I'm not completly lost, I'm wondering if this is worth
learning...
On the other hand I've heard about Unreal, and well, I'm not sure which one
is the best.

Does any of you have an advice or an opinion ?
