The idea of using a game engine for projects other than creating video games is not new. For decades, game engines have been used to create applications, simulations and more. These use cases include architecture visualization, cinema, animation and cutscene rendering. What is Movie Maker mode for?

There is no environment like KATANA or Houdini SOLARIS where you can lay out the USD, light it, render it, and so on. To be able to use the renderer in a game engine, you must either prepare a conversion pipeline instead of a renderer or use a game engine.

Smaller size - Spine animations store only the bone data, hence their loading and rendering is stable and fast, even on mobile devices like Android or iOS. Export formats - Spine exports animation data in its own, documented JSON and binary formats which are light and hence ideal for game engines, as compared to old frame-by-frame sequence.

As many of you know, Vulkan will be the next open and multi platform rendering 2D and 3D API. CAD and 3D DCC applications will most likely continue to using OpenGL, but for anything related to games OpenGL will be no more. Other (commercial) game engines have set the bar high in this area.

Changing the resolution of a finished mesh (for a mobile game, for example) requires an even less detailed model to run efficiently, forcing the modeler to recreate it from scratch. Most game engines also require multiple levels of asset detailing, which requires the use of multiple assets and leads to additional production and running costs.
