Hi all,

I have gotten interested in UE4 after reading up on several popular game engines out there. I have a nagging question I want to ask that I’m not sure have been covered yet. (Mainly because I am not too sure how to put this question into a short sentence such that I can search properly for it). :slight_smile:

Anyways, in CryEngine SDK (the free one), the thing I didn’t really like was the fact that your map is stored on CryTek’s server or something like that. Which means if anything happens to there server, you can’t get your project back. :frowning:

I want to ask something along the lines of this question for UE4. Where will my map be stored? Another question: if, lets say I export a 3d model out of 3Ds to UE4, will my 3d model somehow end up online in servers of Epic Games behind my back??

Thanks for the clarification and sorry if the question has been answered numerous times.

Cheers,

Welcome in the forum! :slight_smile:

No, it wont be stored on a sever, but you could use source controle ( https://docs.unrealengine/latest/INT/Engine/UI/SourceControl/index.html) or just do regular backups. Another way is to use the autosave files when something happens. As far as I know nothing from you (except of your account datas) is stored on a sever :wink:

Thank you…Thank you…

You have no idea how much of a great news that was to me…:smiley: I enjoy privacy on the 3d contents I create and am glad that none of them will be sent online without my knowledge. :smiley:
