Animated Movie Making Using A Game Engine

A game engine is a software framework designed for the creation and development of video games. Video game developers use them to create games for video game consoles, mobile devices and personal computers. Thanks to the growing power of video games engines, which are responsible for creating the whole in-game experience - from rendering the physics system and sound architecture to artificial intelligence and networking - the idea that film makers could take advantage of them to improve, speed up or even completely abolish the post-production process is slowly becoming a reality. In this paper we explain how to develop an animated movie using a game engine.
