= Technical Evaluation Matrix

Use the following matrix to evaluate engines for suitability.  Edit the Wiki source and fill-in the appropriate cell with notes about each.

|| ||= Unreal Engine =||= Godot =||= Minetest =||=UNIGINE ||
||= Voxel Engine||Very, very rich support, supports blocky and smooth.  Professional version is going to be required, which costs $299 USD.  Possibly more advanced than Transvoxel||Built-in, unsure what version it's using but it appears to be in active development (based on Transvoxel by Eric Lengyel)|| || ||
||= Component Extensibility|| || || || ||
||= Help and Support|| || || || ||
||= Community|| || || || ||
||= Documentation|| || || || ||
||= Tutorials & Examples|| || || ||[https://unigine.com/learning-unigine/video-tutorials#video-tutorials Company provided tutorials]||
||= Terrain Paging|| || || ||[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYov5jwsAD0 Paid version supports unlimited size and real time terrain deformation along with high detail]||
||= Dynamic Lighting|| ||Claims there are only a max of 8 light sources an object can receive at a time, but this might be ok after the new Godot 4.0 lightmapper, it claims to do well and bake more than that|| || ||
||= Network Synchronisation||Built-in both Unreal Engine and Voxel Plugin has its own built-in support||Nothing Voxel-specific, but everything Godot is node-based, and Godot allows you to add networking logic at the node level, both UDP and TCP|| || ||
||= GPU Technology Used||Most advanced, including Vulkan||OpenGL 2.1, Vulkan is coming|| || ||
||= Materials / Texture Support|| || || || ||
||= C++ Support||Built-in||Requires use of GDNative|| ||Support for C++||
||= Platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows)|| || || ||[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unigine#Platforms Windows and Linux]||
||= Cost|| ||Free|| ||[https://unigine.com/get-unigine/ Games under $100K free, but does not support large worlds after that it cost $150 a month]||
