Limits of Github

  • 1 GB storage
  • 100 MB max file size
  • 3 collaborators for private repositories
  • LFS
    • 1 GB bandwidth
    • 1 GB storage


Limits of SVN

Unreal Engine 5

  • To be released 2021/2022.
    • Trello still lists a 4.26, which might be the last update for main version 4.
    • A separate (preview) of 4.26-Chaos (destruction physics) was been released too.

UE 5 is basically UE 4 fully matured.


Features:

  • UE 4 projects can be ported
  • Nanite: Objects with extreme high poly count are not longer a problem
  • Lumen: Real time illumination (and no more normal maps and baking required)
  • Niagara: Advanced particles system
  • Anims that better interact with env


Programs and automation

Epic seems to keep adding Python support so some aspects of workflows can be automated with more ease.

Therefore Blender and Unreal seems to be a good combination in the future.


List of interesting programs beside UE4/5:

  • Blender (general 3D and animations)
  • Subtance (materials creation)
  • Zbrush ("organic" character creation)

At some point Datasmith (export addons for more professional programs) / Visual Data Prep might be worth a look.


List of languages that can work together:

  • Blueprints (you could say "Visual Scripting of C++")
    • It allows relative easy programming (or more exactly "scripting") for doing standard stuff. Professionals consider it more as "rapid prototyping" to demo something.
  • C++ (add new functionality)
  • Python (automation, managing assets)


Working with C++

Note of warning: Unreal Engine gets updates on a regular basis. To have always the most and up-to-date features available one would need to transfer own code from an old engine to the new one.
