I have never really messed with Unity so I can’t say I really know anything on that. But what got me into Unreal was the Blueprint system for coding in place of what seems like a decent portion of C++. I just kind of got the idea that it may be easier for me with the whole “wiring” of blueprints instead of typing in vasts amounts of text. It keeps my attention better than just looking at basically a notepad and with Unreal being completely free (I know Unity has a free version, but I don’t know what it doesn’t include compared to the other versions) aside from the market place.
I thought Unreal had restrictions and was not completely free. I will have to check into it. I loved programming in high school but have not done any in years and am having to learn C++ as I go. If there is less coding I might be better off learning Unreal first and working on learning C++ on the side. Thanks for the response.
In reality Unity is completely free for anyone making less than $100,000 in a year. Epic Games however requires you give them 5% of your yearly earnings for anything published with the Unreal Engine.
having used both engines, I think Unity has the better UI but sadly, you can’t scale the world units in unity the way you can in Unreal which makes Unreal a more useful Engine in my book
No problem! And they may have charges are far as if your game goes to market and makes over X amount of dollars, it’s been a while since I checked. But as far as getting access to the full UE4 engine, it is free to my understandings. There is even some content on the marketplace that is free for use.
I am currently taking the Unity course here, but I will definitely take some time to check out the Unreal engine further. Thanks for the insight!

Sept 28th, Yo… software developer, trying to learn new and interesting things… got certified in unity with Ben’s other class on Udemy… Signed up with another instructor to learn blender and couldn’t follow anything they were saying… So coming back to Ben to demystify Blender for me…
Hello from Pakistan, this is Saad Haider. I am trying to learn blender so that I can make my own assets.
I am Neftali RIvera, the creator of a comic strip called Midtoon. You probably have never heard of Midtoon because it used to have two readers, but one of them passed away. At this point I use 3D backgrounds (from Sketchup) and hand-drawn characters from Manga Studio overlaid on it. I’d like to eventually switch to 3D models, probably rebuilt my backgrounds, so they are compatible with my new characters.
My level of expertise on 3D modelling is somewhere between abysmal and pathetic, so I expect quite a bit of learning from this course.
We’ll see how it goes.
My name is Gabriel, I have started this new course in Blender on Udemy, so quick intro of who I am, I am French and currently live in Bulgaria, I have been interested in 3D for many years but never had the time to fully emerge myself in it. I have been a casual artist since I have a we boy, now all grown up I still have not lost my interest in art. I am doing this course as I hope to make my first short animation (yeah I know a bit ambitious, right?) and some day if my skills improves to make more short films and why not a full feature 
Well for now lets start learning and see if I really have not lost touch in creativity…
My name is Mariano and I’m currently a game developer. I started as a cartoonist few years ago using Flash. My goal is to have some modeling/animating skills in Blender in order to integrate the results in Unity, and come back to an old love with a brand new tool -and one more dimension
Hello everybody! My name is Steve and I am an electrician by trade. I’m relatively new to Blender, I was introduced to 3d Modeling when I was taking engineering courses at Delaware Technical Community College. Some classmates were playing around with Blender before class started one day and showed me some of the basics. Then a few months went by and when I got some free time, I decided to start playing around with it. I have followed a few YouTube tutorials, but as far as going off on my own I get lost. My end goal with blender is to make short animations I can share with my friends and just have fun with it. I am a huge Star Wars fan and a member of the 501st Legion and think it would be pretty cool to make little animations of different troops that I do.
I’m here to refresh my Blender Skills… I’d done some minor content creation in the past but nothing for around 5 years. So I’m looking forward to it.
I am very new to Udemy and also to blender. The reason I signed up for this course was for future reference so that I could get a job in animation later in life. I plan to use this course to make many projects until I have enough experience with animation too be worthy of a job and have some prior knowledge of animation before I move on to whatever job would require me to use.

Hello everyone I am really exciting to be here and learn to use blender and create models, assets or some environment.
I worked a long time before with 3ds max. I loved the possibility to create Humans, Creatures or what ever and bring them to life.
Now I want to get better in to it to create and animate again.
My Name is Chris, 35 Years Old from Switzerland.
I’m called elfy and I currently live in Washington state, USA.
I’m a writer, musician, and traditional artist looking to add to my skill-sets in order to develop games and animations.
I’ve been gaming since early childhood and would love to share my stories, ideas, and creations by developing games, content, and independent animations.
I am taking this course as a refresher after being away from Blender for about 6 years.
I look forward to learning with you!
Just starting the course for Blender. Excited to learn and hoping to gain the skills to make assets, animated videos and eventually down the road an online game. All for a project I am currently working on.
