Using UE4 for TV or straight to DVD animation

Howdy

I realize UE4 has been used in just a few animated projects but I am curious if it has been used or adapted for use in a wider release animated feature project ?

I am inspired by the stylization of games like RIME most especially and I wonder about the cost effectiveness of producing both a game and an animation project simultaneously. I’m sure the environments and characters are considered low-poly by those in my business… but I’d be willing to gamble that the ability to render a larger number and variety of assets with consistent lighting in UE4 is competitive at least in a uniquely designed TV quality animation special or DVD.

I’d love to read more about who is considering this… or investigate the costs with your assistance myself !?

Any contacts would be appreciated !

Thanks. Dermot
