Game Engines
● 100s of game engines
● Most are proprietary
● Freely-available engines often have limited support
![Page 3: CMSC498W Lecture 3 2016-02-04 Unity Derek Juba Amitabh](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022416/586b78251a28ab4e0b8bef90/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Game Engines
● Unity and Unreal Engine are two major freely-available 3D engines today
● Contrasted with Unreal Engine, some say Unity is less powerful but easier to learn
● Low barrier to entry– Unity: Free under $100 000, then $1 500
– Unreal Engine: Free under $3 000 per quarter, then 5%

Unity
● Game Engine and IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

Unity
● Official site: http://unity3d.com/– Tutorials, documentation, etc.
● Large amount of unofficial help available as well
● Scripting supports C# and UnityScript (modeled after JavaScript)

Assets
● Assets (models, textures, sounds, animations, etc.) can be very time-consuming to create
● Official Unity Asset Store offers free and paid assets: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/
● Many unofficial sources available as well

Games
● Unity supports both 2D and 3D games
● Also things in between (“2.5D”)– 3D assets on a 2D terrain or in a 2D side-scroller
– 2D assets viewed at an angle on a 2D terrain that appear 3D
● http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/2Dor3D.html
● For VR, we want 3D assets!
