Unreal Engine offers high-quality photorealistic visuals and experiences giving designers the freedom to iterate on their designs without waiting for physical models, which was the case before. Using Unreal Engine automotive designers can offer their customers a lot of options in the catalog or take them for a VR test drive without leaving the showroom which is a fantastic thing because this can save time, money, and resources that can be allocated elsewhere. Also, with the Unreal Engine, designers and engineers can store their assets as digital reference models in a centralized repository and access them according to their needs. For example, rapid visual prototyping, collaborative design reviews, HMI, and sales and marketing tools as well.
