Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine is a popular programming language for developing modern games. Most companies that create computer entertainment use this "engine" to develop new products. Unreal Engine runs on consoles, mobile devices and tablets. The features of this programming language have been added to many games. Many independent developers use Unreal Engine and add a new graphical interface. The fourth version of the "engine" supports tools that handle VR and AR. The capabilities of this programming language ensure that features are added that allow games to be developed for "platforms" of different kinds. Unreal Engine 4 has its own components that simplify the process of "porting" games from different platforms.

The main advantages are.

Through this "engine" you create colorful 3D-enabled applications. Using technology that checks "zones" and adds "smart" rendering. This programming language processes polygons of "close objects", leaving other objects as structural models. As a result of this operation, the load on the CPU and graphics card is reduced, as well as on devices with an integrated APU graphics core. The engine has a number of advantages. It includes advanced tools that work with the network. Using these tools, the developers add multiplayer mode and team option to the game. The program uses a structural system with objects (player, world, level). UnrealEngine applies closed 3D objects that fill the game space. If necessary, users prescribe instructions of complex types, as well as create non-linear functions with a complex structure of events. The software has a choice of modes for processing graphics (OpenGL, Direct3D). If necessary, it is possible to transfer three-dimensional objects from popular editors.

Licensing

Unreal Engine is available for free download. The programming language is suitable for creating projects on a commercial basis. The creators of the engine "Epic Games" require 5% of profit, when its figure from projects increases many times.
