Unreal Engine 5 can be used to create professional games. It's also used for hollywood movies, AR/VR experiences, and visualisations (for example: architecture). And you can use it for free*! (*: unless you make more than 1 million USD with it, in that case, they want some of that money!) Now, it might be tempting to immediately buy a €7000 PC to try it out. However, you don't need no ray tracing if you don't even know how to move a cube in the engine. Just start out with simple small tutorial projects and grow from there. I just saved you €7000. You're welcome. ____________ |

That does sound like a good deal to get it for free! It is to use with C++ I understand. I'm hoping that maybe there will be a Java version of this engine one day. Raverdave maybe would want to try this out if he has not done so already, he's deeply into 3D game programming and does want to step over onto C++. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

That's true, the engine is based on C++, and if you want to write something specific in code, you'll need to use C++ as well. However, you can create an entire game without writing code, by using blueprints. Essentially then you'll create a diagram of the behavior, in stead of writing code. But it's quite a learning curve to get started, so I can imagine you wouldn't want to go through that, knowing that you'd also need to learn C++ for more detailed customization in your games. ____________ |
