Interactive 3D powers the games we play, the movies we watch, and the virtual worlds we spend our time in. The tools that drive Fortnite also help architects visualize buildings before they’re built and surgeons simulate a difficult procedure before they ever touch a patient.With Unreal Futures, educators and students will get access to real-life projects created by industry leaders in advertising, fashion, game design, and animation using Unreal Engine.
