Pros

“It took some time to become comfortable with the editor and understand how the different systems work together, but the tutorials and large community made that process much easier. Once I got past the initial learning curve, creating and iterating on 3D scenes became fairly efficient.”

Furkan A.

Founder

“The platform offers robust core Features for real-time 3D Modeling and Animation workflows.”

Estrella A.

Software Engineer

The interface is friendly, the asset store is basically a treasure chest of “please save my project,” and the community has a tutorial for literally everything, including mistakes you didn’t even know you were about to make.

Parker W.

Teacher

Pros

“Security never had a problem with any leaked data or anything of the sort. But can say if you are into creating games it's definately worth trying out if you haven't already.”

Samuel S.

Coder

“This node-based coding is extended to their shader system, which allows us to build out material features with relative ease.”

Derick B.

Environment Artist

“So many options to customize game play and data for the price you pay”

Kat L.

Content creator

Cons

“Additionally, direct Customer Support can be slow to resolve deep engine build bugs.”

Estrella A.

Software Engineer

“Performance issues pop up if you’re not careful, and certain features or add‑ons can get pricey if you’re trying to keep things budget‑friendly.”

Parker W.

Teacher

“The difficulty curve is really steep, and starting with Unity can be a nightmare.”

Etân C.

Developer

Cons

“The only thing I didn't like is how complicated the interfaceis cause it's definately overwhelming and can be complicated for beginners like it was for me. But like any other platform until you get to know it you'll get use to it and work your way through it and learn where everything is.”

Samuel S.

Coder

“It has several features that can be simple, such as importing and arranging 3D objects in the environment, but others that are quite complex, such as programming and animating these objects, as well as compiling projects, which can be a headache for those who are not familiar with programming and computing and come from a design background.”

Marcos A.

Manager

“Feedback can often be ignored on their message boards and is quite slow.”

Derick B.
