I really like the look of Unreal Engine. Sadly, I’m not a game programmer and am doing an animation series. So I was wondering if I could use Unreal Engine for animation instead of game creation. Is this possible?
Of course!
At GDC last year, (2015), we created A Boy and His Kite for our GDC demo, which was a short film. With the upcoming release of sequencer, creating short films or animation shorts will be even easier.
The great thing about using UE4 for animation, rather than rendering it out in a traditional package, is that you can see your lighting real-time and you can render out frames as fast as it can play.
