What Our Mentors Have to Say About Unreal Engine
Adam Beardall
Vertex Mentor
Unreal Engine was great to work with on one of my industry jobs just due to the amount of documentation and resources. I don't feel like it slowed down the art team when it came to integrating assets and tweaking our shaders.
Andrew Baker
Vertex Mentor
I love working with Unreal Engine and it is a determining factor for what studios I apply for and accept recruiting offers from. I started learning in the UT3 editor over 10 years ago.
I display the majority of my props in Unreal Engine and occasionally do full fledged environments for fun, and of course work in it for work. I frequently follow Unreal Engine tutorials for fun.
Learning Unreal Engine has helped me understand real time graphics overall better, because everything done in UE is technically possible in other programs, and I love trying to get to the bottom of how these FX, etc. are done.
