I’m thinking about crawling back to Unreal after looking at other engines for a while, I’d like to know if the Forward Renderer can be used in non-VR projects. I’m looking into an engine that can let me go as far as possible to make a good looking game that can scale down to low end (integrated graphics) and get acceptable performance in games.
Yeah you can use Forward with non-VR, you can use the mobile level renderer on any platform too if youre looking to maximize performance.
Also a note, the engine says that Forward requires Shader Model 5 so depending on what you need that might not be as helpful.
