Introduction to the "Unreal Engine" Software

What is Unreal Engine?

Unreal Engine originally started off as a "game engine", but has since developed into so much more. Now, it's officially a "real time rendering engine."

Unreal Engine is still used for games, but common use cases have now expanded into other industries, such as architecture, business simulations, media, medical and military training, and more.


Unreal Engine tends to have some overlapping functionality with Godot and Unity.

Compared to these two, Unreal Engine currently offers the most diverse support, with the most functionality baked in and provided as-is. However, with this more complex functionality comes a steeper learning curve, and potentially larger teams to support projects.
