• The first choice for mobile games, there are many tutorials and documents on the website (especially for entry-level developers);

• Use C# and JavaScript coding (C++ can be used in specific fields, but it is not recommended);

• More friendly, with more plug-ins available, and high development efficiency;

• Simple and intuitive UI interface and easy-to-learn settings;

• applicable Use low-profile hardware.

Insufficient Unity

• < span style="font-size: 14px;">Compared with Unreal Engine4 (UE4), the 3D picture quality is not the best;

• The material Shader is complex;

• The source code is not open;

• Unity is free, Unity Pro and Unity iOS Pro only provide a 30-day fully functional trial period;

Unreal Engine (UE)-Developer’s Paradise< /p>

Mention to the game engine I have to mention the development of Unreal (UE). UE is currently the world’s most well-known and most widely licensed top game engine, occupying 80% of the global commercial game engine market share. As analyzed by industry insiders, according to the project type and budget, if the budget is sufficient, use Unreal, and if you want to develop quickly, use Unity. Unreal is more suitable for large-scale game projects.

UE advantages

• Entry-level developers can find many tutorials and documents on the Internet;

• Have dedicated design resources and optimization companies to create high-end and immersive VR;

• use Blueprint (visual programming). Drag and drop nodes and customize C++ code. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds. Blueprints have their own learning curve;

• free;

• The framework can be pre-built, the environment and particle system can be quickly created, and millions of renderings can be achieved;

• Better picture quality, better texture editor;

• The source code of the engine can be downloaded from the Github open source community, which means that developers can modify virtually anything, including physics engine, rendering and graphics User Interface.

Insufficient UE

• < span style="font-size: 14px;">C++ (only for junior developers who are not familiar with this language);

• Long loading time;

• Real-time processing is poor.

Summary

In general, the two engines are developed for VR The mainstream engine. Unity 3D is relatively light and more suitable for developing lightweight experiences or demos. However, it can have better support for VR functions. UE4 is the heavyweight. Unity seems to be more suitable for developers, and UE4 is more suitable for designers who are interested in animation and art. The choice of an engine mainly depends on what kind of project is to be developed. See what kind of engine is needed according to the project. If you have enough time, you can try the two development engines, and then make the choice that suits you.

The VR wave is swept, compared to the enthusiasm of capital, what is really needed in reality is strength VR hardware R&D team and professional content production team. For entry-level developers, the choice of game engine has become a big problem.

Currently there are many types of virtual reality game development engines, two of which are mainstream For Unity and Unreal Engine, these two engines currently support the largest VR platforms, such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR and Playstation VR. This article will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Unreal Engine and Unity engine, and provide some suggestions for entry-level developers to choose.

Unity-The World of Mobile Games

< br>

Unity 3D is developed by Unity Technologies to allow players to easily create interactive content such as 3D video games, architectural visualization, real-time 3D animation, etc. Multi-platform comprehensive game development tool is a fully integrated professional game engine. At first, it could only run under the Mac system, but later it began to support the Windows system, and it can publish games to Windows, Mac, Wii, iPhone and Android platforms.
