About Unreal Engine

 

Unreal Engine is a high-performance software development suite, created by Epic Games, that brings real-time, high-fidelity fully interactive experiences to PC, console, mobile, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) platforms. Used by many of the world's leading entertainment software developers and publishers, Unreal Engine is also an integral part of many enterprise sectors. The Unreal Engine enterprise team supports and nurtures vertical markets that make use of real-time technology within their processes.

 

Industries such as automotive, architecture, film, science, aerospace, marketing, and education all use real-time technology to create immersive user experiences. With Unreal Studio, a powerful new toolkit suite for speeding up enterprise workflows, artists across diverse design fields can import their CAD and 3ds Max data into Unreal Engine faster and more efficiently than ever, lowering the barrier to real-time adoption.
