Unreal Engine (UE) is a 3D computer graphics game engine adult by Ballsy Games, first showcased in the 1998 commencement-person shooter game Unreal. Initially developed for PC kickoff-person shooters, information technology has since been used in a variety of genres of iii-dimensional (3D) games and has seen adoption by other industries, most notably the film and television industry. Written in C++, the Unreal Engine features a high degree of portability, supporting a wide range of desktop, mobile, console and virtual reality platforms.

The latest generation, Unreal Engine 5, was launched in April 2022. As its predecessor released in March 2014, its source code is bachelor on GitHub after registering an account, and commercial use is granted based on a royalty model. Epic waives their royalties margin for games until developers have earned US$ane million in revenue and the fee is waived if developers publish on the Ballsy Games Store. Epic has included features from caused companies like Quixel in the engine, which is seen as helped by Fortnite's revenue.

History [edit]

Outset generation [edit]

The first-generation Unreal Engine was developed by Tim Sweeney, the founder of Epic Games.[four] Having created editing tools for his shareware games ZZT (1991) and Jill of the Jungle (1992),[5] Sweeney began writing the engine in 1995 for the production of a game that would later become a first-person shooter known as Unreal.[6] [vii] [8] After years in development, information technology debuted with the game's release in 1998,[ix] although MicroProse and Legend Entertainment had access to the technology much before, licensing it in 1996.[3] Co-ordinate to an interview, Sweeney wrote xc percentage of the code in the engine, including the graphics, tools, and networking.[10]

At first, the engine relied completely on software rendering, significant the graphics calculations were handled by the CPU.[4] However, over fourth dimension, it was able to take advantage of the capabilities provided by dedicated graphics cards, focusing on the Glide API, specially designed for 3dfx accelerators.[11] [12] While OpenGL and Direct3D were supported, they reported a slower performance compared to Glide due to their deficiency in texture direction at the time.[13] [fourteen] Sweeney particularly criticized the quality of OpenGL drivers for consumer hardware, describing them as "extremely problematic, buggy, and untested", and labeled the code in the implementation as "scary" as opposed to the simpler and cleaner support for Direct3D.[13] With regard to audio, Epic employed the Galaxy Sound Organization, a software created in assembly linguistic communication that integrated both EAX and Aureal technologies, and allowed the utilize of tracker music, which gave level designers flexibility in how a game soundtrack was played at a specific point in maps.[15] [16] [17] Steve Polge, the writer of the Reaper Bots plugin for Convulse, programmed the AI system, based on noesis he had gained while working at IBM designing router protocols.[eighteen] [19] According to Sweeney, the hardest part of the engine to program was the renderer, as he had to rewrite its core algorithm several times during development, though he constitute less "glamorous" the infrastructure connecting all the subsystems.[20] [xi] Despite requiring a significant personal effort, he said the engine was his favorite project at Ballsy, adding: "Writing the first Unreal Engine was a 3.5-twelvemonth, breadth-kickoff tour of hundreds of unique topics in software and was incredibly enlightening."[21]

Among its features were collision detection, colored lighting, and a limited form of texture filtering.[12] The engine likewise integrated a level editor, UnrealEd,[22] that had back up for real-time effective solid geometry operations as early on equally 1996, assuasive mappers to alter the level layout on the wing.[23] [11] Even though Unreal was designed to compete with id Software (programmer of Doom and Convulse), co-founder John Carmack complimented the game for the use of xvi-flake color and remarked its implementation of visual effects such as volumetric fog. "I doubtfulness whatever important game will be designed with viii-bit color in listen from at present on. Unreal has washed an important thing in pushing toward straight color, and this gives the artists a lot more freedom," he said in an article written by Geoff Keighley for GameSpot.[8] "Light blooms [the spheres of lite], fog volumes, and composite skies were steps I was planning on taking, merely Epic got there first with Unreal," he said, adding: "The Unreal engine has raised the bar on what activity gamers look from future products. The visual effects start seen in the game will become expected from hereafter games."[eight]

Unreal was noted for its graphical innovations, but Sweeney recognized in a 1999 interview with Eurogamer that many aspects of the game were unpolished, citing complaints from gamers near its high system requirements and online gameplay problems.[nineteen] Epic addressed these points during the development of Unreal Tournament by incorporating several enhancements in the engine intended to optimize performance on depression-finish machines and amend the networking code, while also refining the bogus intelligence for bots to display coordination in team-based environments.[25] The game also came with increased paradigm quality with the support for the S3TC compression algorithm, allowing for 24-flake high resolution textures without compromising performance.[26] In addition to existence bachelor on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac and Unix,[27] the engine was ported through Unreal Tournament to the PlayStation ii and, with the help of Secret Level, to the Dreamcast.[28] [29]

By tardily 1999, The New York Times indicated that in that location had been xvi external projects using Ballsy's technology, including Deus Ex, The Wheel of Fourth dimension, and Duke Nukem Forever,[27] the latter of which was originally based on the Convulse II engine.[30] Unlike id Software, whose engine business concern only offered the source code, Epic provided support for licensees and met with them to talk over improvements to its game evolution organization.[3] [31] While it cost around $three million to produce and licenses for upwards to $350,000,[27] Epic gave players the power to alter its games with the incorporation of UnrealEd and a scripting language called UnrealScript, sparking a community of enthusiasts around a game engine congenital to be extensible over multiple generations of games.[32] [33] [34] [35]

The big goal with the Unreal technology all long was to build up a base of lawmaking that could exist extended and improved through many generations of games. Meeting that goal required keeping the engineering quite general-purpose, writing clean code, and designing the engine to exist very extensible. The early on plans to design an extensible multi-generational engine happened to give united states of america a bang-up advantage in licensing the applied science as it reached completion. Subsequently we did a couple of licensing deals, we realised information technology was a legitimate business. Since then, it has become a major component of our strategy.

Unreal Engine 2 [edit]

In October 1998, IGN reported, based on an interview with affiliate Voodoo Extreme, that Sweeney was doing research for his next-generation engine.[36] With development starting a year after,[27] the second version fabricated its debut in 2002 with America's Ground forces, a free multiplayer shooter developed by the U.S. Army equally a recruitment device.[37] [38] Soon later, Ballsy would release Unreal Championship on the Xbox, with it existence one of the first games to utilize Microsoft'due south Xbox Alive.[34]

Though based on its predecessor, this generation saw a notable accelerate in rendering terms as well equally new improvements to the tool prepare.[39] Capable of running levels nearly 100 times more detailed than those found in Unreal, the engine integrated a variety of features, including a cinematic editing tool, particle systems, consign plug-ins for 3D Studio Max and Maya, and a skeletal animation system kickoff showcased in the PlayStation ii version of Unreal Tournament.[40] [41] In improver, the user interface for UnrealEd was rewritten in C++ using the wxWidgets toolkit, which Sweeney said was the "all-time thing available" at the time.[three]

Ballsy used the Karma physics engine, a third-party software from UK-based studio Math Engine, to drive the physical simulations such as ragdoll player collisions and arbitrary rigid body dynamics.[41] [34] [42] With Unreal Tournament 2004, vehicle-based gameplay was successfully implemented, enabling large-scale combat.[34] [43] While Unreal Tournament 2003 had support for vehicle physics through the Karma engine, every bit demonstrated by a testmap with a "hastily-constructed vehicle", it wasn't until Psyonix created a modification out of Epic's base of operations code that the game received fully coded vehicles. Impressed past their efforts, Epic decided to include it in its successor as a new game mode nether the name Onslaught by hiring Psyonix as a contractor.[41] [44] [45] Psyonix would after develop Rocket League before beingness acquired past Epic in 2019.[46]

A specialized version of UE2 called UE2X was designed for Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Disharmonize on the original Xbox platform, featuring optimizations specific to that panel.[47] In March 2011, Ubisoft Montreal revealed that UE2 was successfully running on the Nintendo 3DS via Tom Clancy'southward Splinter Cell 3D.[48] "The 3DS is powerful, and nosotros are able to run the Unreal Engine on this console, which is pretty impressive for a handheld machine, and the 3D doesn't affect the performance (thanks to my amazing programmers)," said Ubisoft.[48]

Unreal Engine 3 [edit]

Screenshots of Unreal Engine 3 were presented by July 2004, at which point the engine had already been in development for over eighteen months.[49] The engine was based on the commencement-generation, simply contained new features. "The basic architectural decisions visible to programmers of an object-oriented design, a data-driven scripting approach, and a adequately modular approach to subsystems still remain [from Unreal Engine 1]. Merely the parts of the game that are actually visible to gamers –the renderer, the physics system, the sound system, and the tools– are all visibly new and dramatically more than powerful," said Sweeney.[50] Different Unreal Engine ii, which still supported a fixed-function pipeline, Unreal Engine 3 was designed to accept reward of fully programmable shader hardware.[50] All lighting and shadowing calculations were done per-pixel, instead of per-vertex. On the rendering side, Unreal Engine 3 provided support for a gamma-correct high-dynamic range renderer.[50] The first games released using Unreal Engine 3 were Gears of War for Xbox 360, and RoboBlitz for Windows, which were both released on Nov 7, 2006.[51]

Screenshot of the Samaritan demo

Initially, Unreal Engine 3 but supported Windows, PlayStation iii, and Xbox 360 platforms, while iOS (offset demonstrated with Epic Citadel) and Android were added later in 2010, with Infinity Blade being the first iOS title and Dungeon Defenders the first Android title.[52] [53] In 2011, it was announced that the engine would support Adobe Flash Player 11 through the Stage 3D hardware-accelerated APIs and that it was being used in two Wii U games, Batman: Arkham City and Aliens: Colonial Marines.[54] [55] In 2013, Ballsy teamed-up with Mozilla to bring Unreal Engine 3 to the spider web; using the asm.js sublanguage and Emscripten compiler, they were able to port the engine in four days.[56]

Throughout the lifetime of UE3, pregnant updates were incorporated,[57] including improved destructible environments, soft body dynamics, big crowd simulation, iOS functionality,[58] Steamworks integration,[59] a real-time global illumination solution,[60] [61] and stereoscopic 3D on Xbox 360 via TriOviz for Games Technology.[62] [63] [64] DirectX 11 support was demonstrated with the Samaritan demo, which was unveiled at the 2011 Game Developers Conference and built by Epic Games in a shut partnership with Nvidia, with engineers working around the country to push existent-fourth dimension graphics to a new loftier point.[65] [66] [67]

Unreal Evolution Kit [edit]

While Unreal Engine 3 was quite open for modders to work with, the ability to publish and sell games meant using UE3 was restricted to licenses of the engine. However, in Nov 2009, Epic released a free version of UE3's SDK, chosen the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), that is bachelor to the full general public.[68]

In Dec 2010, the kit was updated to include support for creating iOS games and apps.[69] OS 10 compatibility followed in the September 2011 release.[70]

Unreal Engine 4 [edit]

Interactive architectural visualization developed with Unreal Engine iv (2015)

In August 2005, Marking Rein, the vice-president of Epic Games, revealed that Unreal Engine 4 had been in development for two years.[71] "People don't realise this but we're already two years into development of Unreal Engine four. It certainly doesn't have a full squad yet, it's simply one guy and you tin probably guess who that guy is," he told C&VG.[72] Speaking in an interview in early on 2008, Sweeney stated that he was basically the but person working on the engine, though he affirmed his research and evolution department would first to aggrandize subsequently that year, designing the engine in parallel with the efforts by the UE3 team.[73] In Feb 2012, Rein said "people are going to be shocked later this twelvemonth when they meet Unreal Engine 4";[74] Epic unveiled UE4 to limited attendees at the 2012 Game Developers Conference,[75] and a video of the engine being demonstrated by technical artist Alan Willard was released to the public on June 7, 2012, via GameTrailers Television.[76]

1 of the major features planned for UE4 was real-time global illumination using voxel cone tracing, eliminating pre-computed lighting.[77] Nevertheless, this feature, called Sparse Voxel Octree Global Illumination (SVOGI) and showcased with the Elemental demo, was replaced with a similar just less computationally expensive algorithm due to performance concerns.[78] UE4 besides includes the new "Blueprints" visual scripting system (a successor to UE3'southward "Kismet"[79]), which allows for rapid development of game logic without using code, resulting in less of a separate betwixt technical artists, designers, and programmers.[fourscore] [81]

I could say: 'I'k going to catechumen this pillar into a blueprint [in the Engine] and add together some sort of trap to it.' It means I tin can really go in and kickoff enhancing my world with interaction that just would not have been possible without a technical artist, a designer and a developer and now any one of those three can do all of it, provided they have the assets handy. The fact that I tin can but go in and say, 'If yous're within 10 altitude of this affair, start to glow and take my distance to it, normalize it nil to one and so just lerp [linearly interpolate] between ii different brightness values, so as I reach for something information technology gets hot'...that would accept been something do-able only very difficult for anybody except a gameplay developer. And he wouldn't have known how to set upward the assets, but now any 1 of the three could practise information technology.

An Unreal Engine presentation at GDC 2016

On March xix, 2014, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), Ballsy Games released Unreal Engine iv through a new licensing model. For a monthly subscription at U.s.a.$19, developers were given access to the full version of the engine, including the C++ source lawmaking, which could be downloaded via GitHub. Whatever released product was charged with a 5% royalty of gross revenues.[82] The first game released using Unreal Engine 4 was Daylight, developed with early access to the engine[83] and released on April 29, 2014.[84]

On September 4, 2014, Epic released Unreal Engine 4 to schools and universities for gratuitous, including personal copies for students enrolled in accredited video game evolution, estimator science, art, architecture, simulation, and visualization programs.[85] Epic opened an Unreal Engine Market for acquiring game avails.[86] On February 19, 2015, Epic launched Unreal Dev Grants, a $five one thousand thousand development fund aiming to provide grants to creative projects using Unreal Engine 4.[87]

In March 2015, Epic released Unreal Engine 4, along with all hereafter updates, for free for all users.[88] [89] In exchange, Ballsy established a selective royalty schedule, asking for 5% of acquirement for products that make more than $iii,000 per quarter.[90] Sweeney stated that when they moved to the subscription model in 2014, employ of Unreal grew by x times and through many smaller developers, and believed that they would draw even more than uses through this new pricing scheme.[91]

An Unreal Engine booth at GDC 2017

In an attempt to attract Unreal Engine developers, Oculus VR announced in October 2016 that information technology will pay royalty fees for all Unreal-powered Oculus Rift titles published on their store for up to the commencement $5 million of gross revenue per game.[92]

To gear up for the release of its gratis-to-play battle royale mode in Fortnite in September 2017, Ballsy had to make a number of Unreal Engine modifications that helped it to handle a big number (up to 100) of connections to the same server while however retaining loftier bandwidth, and to amend the rendering of a large open in-game world. Epic said information technology would contain these changes into future updates of the Unreal Engine.[93]

With the opening of the Ballsy Games Shop in Dec 2018, Epic will not charge the v% revenue fee on games that employ the Unreal Engine and released through the Epic Games Stores, absorbing that cost equally role of the base 12% cut Epic is taking to comprehend other costs.[94]

Effective May thirteen, 2020, and retroactive to Jan 1, 2020, the royalty exemption corporeality is increased to The states$1,000,000 in lifetime gross acquirement per title.[95]

Supported platforms [edit]

Unreal Engine iv officially supports the following platforms every bit of 4.27 (Baronial 2021):[96]

  • Microsoft Windows,[97] macOS,[97] Linux,[97]
  • iOS,[97] Android[97]
  • Nintendo Switch,[98] PlayStation 4,[99] Xbox One,[99] PlayStation 5,[100] Xbox Series X/Due south,[100] and Stadia.[101]
  • Magic Leap,[102] HTC Vive,[103] Oculus,[104] PlayStation VR,[105] OSVR,[106] Samsung Gear VR,[107] and HoloLens 2.[108]

It formerly officially supported Google Fantasize[109] and HTML5.[110] [111]

Unreal Engine 5 [edit]

The cave organisation in the "Lumen in the Land of Nanite" Unreal Engine 5 demo was generated using real-world photogrammetry assets imported into the Nanite engine rather than detailed past hand.

Unreal Engine 5 was revealed on May xiii, 2020, supporting all existing systems including the next-generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Serial X/S.[112] Work on the engine started most 2 years prior to its announcement.[113] It was released in early access on May 26, 2021,[114] and formally launched for developers on April 5, 2022.[115]

One of its major features is Nanite, an engine that allows for high-detailed photographic source cloth to be imported into games.[116] The Nanite virtualized geometry engineering allows Ballsy to have advantage of its past acquisition of Quixel, the world's largest photogrammetry library as of 2019. The goal of Unreal Engine 5 was to go far as easy as possible for developers to create detailed game worlds without having to spend excessive time on creating new detailed assets.[113] Nanite can import nearly any other pre-existing 3-dimension representation of objects and environments, including ZBrush and CAD models, enabling the use of movie-quality assets.[117] Nanite automatically handles the levels of detail (LODs) of these imported objects advisable to the target platform and draw distance, a task that an creative person would have had to perform otherwise.[118] Lumen is some other component described equally a "fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes".[118] [116] [119] Lumen eliminates the demand for artists and developers to craft a lightmap for a given scene, just instead calculates calorie-free reflections and shadows on the fly, thus allowing for existent-time behavior of calorie-free sources.[118] Virtual Shadow Maps is another component added in Unreal Engine 5 described as "a new shadow mapping method used to deliver consistent, loftier-resolution shadowing that works with film-quality avails and large, dynamically lit open worlds".[120] Virtual Shadow Maps differs from the common shadow map implementation in its extremely loftier resolution, more detailed shadows, and the lack of shadows popping in and out which can be plant in the more common shadow maps technique due to shadow cascades.[121] Additional components include Niagara for fluid and particle dynamics and Chaos for a physics engine.[113]

With potentially tens of billions of polygons nowadays on a unmarried screen at 4K resolution, Epic also adult the Unreal Engine five to take reward of the upcoming high-speed storage solutions with the next-generation console hardware that will employ a mix of RAM and custom solid-state drives.[118] Ballsy had worked closely with Sony in optimizing Unreal Engine 5 for the PlayStation v, with Epic collaborating with Sony on the console's storage architecture.[122] To demonstrate the ease of creating a detailed world with minimal effort, the May 2020 reveal of the engine showcased a demo called "Lumen in the Land of Nanite" running on a PlayStation 5 that was built mostly by pulling assets from the Quixel library and using the Nanite, Lumen, and other Unreal Engine 5 components to create a photorealistic cave setting that could exist explored.[113] [123] Epic affirmed that Unreal Engine 5 would exist fully supported on the Xbox Series Ten equally well, simply had been focused on the PlayStation 5 during the announcement equally a result of their work with Sony in the years prior.[124] Ballsy plans to use Fortnite as a testbed for Unreal Engine 5 to showcase what the engine can practice to the industry,[113] [125] with the game brought to employ Unreal Engine five in December 2021.[126] Ninja Theory'southward Senua'southward Saga: Hellblade II will besides be one of the offset games to utilize Unreal Engine 5.[127] The Matrix Awakens, a necktie-in experience ahead of the release of The Matrix Resurrections, was developed by Epic to be a farther demonstration of Unreal Engine 5 forth with other technology that they had caused over 2020 and 2021, including their MetaHuman Creator developed and integrated into Unreal Engine 5 with technology from 3Lateral, Cubic Motion, and Quixel.[128]

Additional features planned for Unreal Engine 5 come up from Epic's acquisitions and partnerships. The MetaHuman Creator is a project based on engineering science from three companies caused by Epic—3Lateral, Cubic Movement, and Quixel—to permit developers to quickly create realistic human characters that tin then be exported for use inside Unreal.[129] Through partnership with Cesium, Ballsy plans to offer a gratuitous plugin to provide 3D geospatial data for Unreal users, allowing them to recreate any office of the mapped surface of Earth.[130] Ballsy will include RealityCapture, a production it acquired with its acquisition of Capturing Reality that can generate 3D models of any object from a collection of photographs taken of it from multiple angles,[131] and the various middleware tools offered by Epic Game Tools.[132]

Unreal Engine v volition retain the current royalty model, with developers returning 5% of gross revenues to Epic Games, though this fee is waived for those that release their games on the Epic Games Store. Further, Epic announced alongside Unreal Engine 5 that they will not take any fee from games using any version of Unreal Engine for the first Usa$one million in gross acquirement, retroactive to January 1, 2020.[133]

UnrealScript (often abbreviated to UScript) was Unreal Engine's native scripting language used for authoring game code and gameplay events before the release of Unreal Engine iv. The language was designed for simple, high-level game programming.[134] The UnrealScript interpreter was programmed by Sweeney, who as well created an earlier game scripting language, ZZT-oop.[eleven]

Similar to Coffee, UnrealScript was object-oriented without multiple inheritance (classes all inherit from a common Object class), and classes were defined in individual files named for the form they ascertain. Unlike Java, UnrealScript did not have object wrappers for archaic types. Interfaces were only supported in Unreal Engine generation 3 and a few Unreal Engine 2 games. UnrealScript supported operator overloading, but not method overloading, except for optional parameters.

At the 2012 Game Developers Conference, Epic announced that UnrealScript was being removed from Unreal Engine 4 in favor of C++.[135] Visual scripting would be supported by the Blueprints Visual Scripting organisation, a replacement for the earlier Kismet visual scripting system.[vii] [79]

Ane of the key moments in Unreal Engine 4'south development was, we had a serial of debates most UnrealScript – the scripting language I'd built that we'd carried through three generations. And what we needed to practise to brand it competitive in the time to come. And we kept going through bigger and bigger feature lists of what we needed to do to upgrade information technology, and who could possibly exercise the work, and it was getting really, really unwieldy. And at that place was this massive meeting to try and sort information technology out, and endeavor to cut things and decide what to keep, and plan and...in that location was this indicate where I looked at that and said 'you know, everything you're proposing to add to UnrealScript is already in C++. Why don't we just kill UnrealScript and move to pure C++? You know, maximum performance and maximum debuggability. It gives us all these advantages.'

Verse [edit]

Verse is a new scripting linguistic communication for Unreal Engine, expected to be released sometime in 2022 and implemented in Fortnite.[137] Simon Peyton Jones, known for his contributions to the Haskell programming language, was hired past Ballsy Games in Dec 2021 every bit Engineering Fellow to work on Poesy.[138]

Marketplace [edit]

With Unreal Engine four, Epic opened the Unreal Engine Market place in September 2014. The Marketplace is a digital storefront that allows content creators and developers to provide art assets, models, sounds, environments, code snippets, and other features that others could purchase, along with tutorials and other guides. Some content is provided for gratuitous by Epic, including previously offered Unreal avails and tutorials.[139] Prior to July 2018, Epic took a 30% share of the sales simply due to the success of Unreal and Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic retroactively reduced its have to 12%.[140]

Usage [edit]

Video games [edit]

The Unreal Engine was originally designed to be used as the underlying technology for video games. The engine is used in a number of high-contour game titles with loftier graphics capabilities, including PlayerUnknown'south Battlegrounds, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Valorant and Yoshi'south Crafted Globe, in add-on to games developed past Epic, including Gears of War and Fortnite.[141] [142] [143]

Motion picture and television [edit]

The Unreal Engine has found use in picture making to create virtual sets that can track with a camera's motion around actors and objects and be rendered in real time to large LED screens and atmospheric lighting systems. This allows for real-time composition of shots, immediate editing of the virtual sets every bit needed, and the ability to shoot multiple scenes inside a short period by but changing the virtual globe behind the actors. The overall appearance was recognized to announced more than natural than typical chromakey effects.

Amidst the productions to use these technologies were the telly series The Mandalorian and Westworld. Jon Favreau and Lucasfilm'due south Industrial Low-cal & Magic sectionalisation worked with Epic in developing their StageCraft applied science for The Mandalorian, based on a similar approach Favreau had used in The Lion King.[144] [145] [146] Favreau and so shared this technology approach with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the producers for Westworld. The testify had already looked at the use of virtual sets before and had some engineering science established, but integrated the utilise of Unreal Engine as with StageCraft for its third flavour.[147] [148]

Orca Studios, a Spanish-based visitor, has been working with Epic to found multiple studios for virtual filming like to the StageCraft arroyo with Unreal Engine providing the virtual sets, particularly during the COVID-xix pandemic, which restricted travel.[149]

In January 2021, Deadline Hollywood announced that Epic was using part of its Epic MegaGrants to back for the first time an animated feature film, Gilgamesh, to be produced fully in Unreal Engine by blitheness studios Hook Up, DuermeVela and FilmSharks.[150] As part of an extension of its MegaGrants, Epic likewise funded 45 additional projects since around 2020 for making movies and short films in the Unreal Engine.[151]

Other uses [edit]

Unreal Engine has as well been used past non-creative fields due to its availability and characteristic sets. Information technology has been used equally a footing for a virtual reality tool to explore pharmaceutical drug molecules in collaboration with other researchers, as a virtual environment to explore and design new buildings and automobiles, and used for cablevision news networks to support real-time graphics.[152]

Awards [edit]

The engine has received numerous awards:

  • Engineering & Technology Emmy Honor from the National Academy of Television set Arts and Sciences (NATAS) for "3D Engine Software for the Production of Animation" in 2018[153]
  • Primetime Engineering science Emmy Honor from the Television Academy for exceptional developments in circulate technology in 2020[154]
  • Annie Award from ASIFA-Hollywood for technical advocacy in animation in 2021[155]
  • Game Programmer Magazine Front Line Honour for Best Game Engine for 2004,[156] 2005,[157] 2006,[158] 2007,[159] 2009,[160] 2010,[161] 2011,[162] and 2012[163]
  • Develop Industry Excellence Award for Best Engine for 2009,[164] 2010,[165] 2011,[166] 2013,[167] 2016,[168] 2017,[169] and 2018[170]
  • Guinness World Tape for almost successful video game engine[171]

Legal aspects [edit]

The state of the Unreal Engine came upwards in Epic'due south 2020 legal action against Apple Inc. claiming anticompetitive beliefs in Apple's iOS App Store. Ballsy had uploaded a version of Fortnite that violated Apple's App Store allowances. Apple, in response, removed the Fortnite app and later threatened to terminate Epic'south developer accounts which would take prevented Ballsy from updating the Unreal Engine for iOS and macOS.[172] The courtroom agreed to grant Ballsy a permanent injunction against Apple to foreclose Apple from taking this stride, since the court agreed that would affect numerous third-party developers that rely on the Unreal Engine.[173]
