I think for the small film industry, the unreal engine is a blessing. In our last project, we have saved hours of rendering time. Realism plays a subordinate role. For “B” and “C” clients it is much more important to save time.
We also are testing realtime connections for live studio productions. Motion capture driving with a crane and so on.
UE helps us in many products to get results quickly.
We are very thankfull for this “time saver” tool!
