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. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/oculus-to-cover-royalty-fees-for-unreal-engine-developers <https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/oculus-to-cover-royalty-fees-for-unreal-engine-developers> > On 2 Jul 2017, at 08:52, kenny wood <[email protected]> wrote: > > Unreal is a lot more artist friendly .has nicer results and is quicker to > develop with blueprints ....but you have to pay royalties... > > > For someone with little coding experience I would recommend Unreal > > On 2 Jul 2017 09:07, "Angus Davidson" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > If your just starting out.
