In 2024, Epic Games' real-time creation platform Unreal Engine has dominated game development, and the trailers at the Game Awards showed how Unreal Engine will define gaming in 2025. But UE is also opening new creative possibilities and workflows in VFX, motion graphics, 3D visualisation and more.
As we approach the end of the year, we decided to round up some of the highlights of 2024: not necessarily the best Unreal Engine projects of the year, but the most interesting: projects that show the range of what Unreal Engine can be used for thanks of its photoreal ray tracing, Niagara particles and its virtual camera system. We've aimed to cover as broad a range of uses as possible, from video games to experimental visualisation projects.
