Using game engines for animations


I am new to animation world.I intend to make short animation films. I have started learning blender and have grasped modelling, rigging and rendering concepts. Recently I found out that game engines(unity, unreal) can also be used for animations.
Should i switch to 'unreal' instead as I can learn only a single tool over a period of time? Or would blender be enough to make good quality animation? Please suggest a complete animation tool for a beginner.


Solution

  • unity is capable of rendering each frame of animation in a second with almost the same quality that you would achieve with offline renting using vray or arnold for example , but using them each frame would take around 15 minutes that is a 10 min animation needs about 3 months full time rendering

    that's why I personally never use anything other than a game engine for short animation but I use offline rendering when one frame is intended though
