It will change Unreal Engine and the industry in ways it already has.
To throw a buzz word into the mix the has always been technology convergence (it’s a thing, Google it) where technology has always changed the way things have been done to make development of all things easier and faster and Unreal already has been converted from a simple game engine to a real time interactive environment that has made it’s way into the movie industry so the future there is a migration of media where film and video game development will share the same media pathways.
Cell phones became a thing when someone figured out how to insert an HD camera and GPS functions and people are sending their Iphones up using weather balloons.
As the saying goes.
The art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art.
Motion capture was once another thing that some say animators would loss their jobs but the truth as to history created more jobs based on just the need to manage all that data for the purpose it needed to serve. You can create this stuff but there will always be the need for the creative mind to decide what to do with it and more important is the result fitting as to the purpose needed to be served.
What will impart AI will make it easier for a couple of kids to produce Pixar quality results, costing million of dollars, from the comfort of their bedrooms as AI now does a good job now as to application generated results but as with motion capture will need the creative mind to decide what to do wit the results.
