" summary

Unreal Engine is presented as a free, production‑proven platform that ingests CAD from Revit, SketchUp, SolidWorks and Cinema 4D via the Datasmith plugin, preserves metadata and supports right-click reimport workflows; it automates tessellation, LODs, defeaturing and jacketing, and adds Python hooks. Real‑time ray tracing delivers noticeably improved reflections and shadows in examples like Kenichi’s cafe and ZOAN’s Helsinki VR. Collaboration enables remote users in the same viewport (since 4.22), ~7.5M engine downloads and ~300k Unreal Studio registrants, and Twinmotion adds simpler UI.
