Hello, nice to meet you!
I’m a 3d artist in-training that currently so excited by Unreal Engine. (discover it through Fortnite)
In my search I also discovered Unreal Studio.
I find that Unreal Engine is for creating games, while Unreal Studio is for architecture and other “3d visual work”.
Lastly, I also find that Unreal Engine also equipped with architecture and “3d visual work” from tutorial video.
That’s the gist of it, and here is my question:
-
What’s the concrete difference between them.
-
Why Epic Games separate Unreal Studio from Unreal Engine? Also why by separating them, Epic Games launch Unreal Studio in Beta instead of full release? Also will I get a free update of “released Unreal Studio”, even if it just once?
-
I also read in Unreal Engine FAQ that “UE4 is free to use, with a 5% royalty on gross product revenue after the first $3,000 per game per calendar quarter from commercial products.”
I also read in EULA about “Royalty”. My question is, does game the only “product” that count? or is there any other “product” that count? In case you are wondering, I plan to write a book and use Unreal Engine to provide the illustration. If it’s not to much trouble, can you link it to me the list of product that count?
Thanks in Advance.
