ArtEngine gives students the cutting edge to enter the workforce with a back-to-school sale

Making virtual things look real is hard. The human eye is trained to distinguish what’s real. That’s why most texture art fails to approach photography and video’s variation and emotional realism, especially when rendered into a dynamic environment such as a game or movie. High-fidelity graphics in video games, films, architecture, and manufacturing can make or break your experience.

Evermore industries and studios are adopting assisted creation workflows, and creators who already have this skillset and are familiar with the tools have the competitive edge.

Whether you’re just starting out on your RT3D learning path, or you’re teaching students to use Unity, you may have noticed that one of the most laborious and difficult processes when building a 3D environment is, well, the environment. If you want your project to look cutting edge, every tree, bush, floorboard, gravel path, could mean painstaking hours of work as you build it inch-by-inch. 

With Unity ArtEngine, you can harness the power of AI to build photorealistic materials for immersive environments. This powerful tool helps you create intricately detailed materials by taking some of the heavy lifting out of cumbersome processes like up-resing, deblur, unwarping and more. 

The benefits of creative tools like ArtEngine go way beyond saving time and bolstering your career prospects. You can use ArtEngine to build worlds – including your own. Read on to learn how creators like you are using Unity tools, including ArtEngine, to improve the world around them.
