10 Creative Ways to Make Money with Unreal Engine

[@StylizedStation]

Hopefully one of these ideas will let me be able to afford making my kimchi fried rice again D:

[@momiartist344]

Pls can u make how to make money as a graphite artist am really good at it but I don't know how to make money off it

[@민혁최-y4z]

oh the food made from korea~ kimchi fried rice in korean language 김치볶음밥. and if you made with spam then it is 스팸 김치볶음밥

[@StylizedStation]

@@민혁최-y4z Thank you for the lesson :) I cook a lot of korean food at home, its super delicious and healthy! We make a lot of tteokbokki, bulgogi with kimchi rice, and sometimes jjajangmyeon :D

Gamedev is definitely a longer wallet hit you better be prepared for, I'm probably close to there but easily 5-10k and about 3 years in directly, not counting anything from learning over the years before direct commitment to it.

@@momiartist344 Set the assets for sale on different environments, bought stuff off Unreal marketplace a bit myself, look at what sells.

[@Desertpunk1986]

I just started messing around on UE5 literally 2 weeks ago. I’ve really enjoyed commercial style animations. Just yesterday I already got contacted and have established a contract to complete a digital environment for a client. Unreal has so much potential for a creative type entrepreneur.

[@RCsFinest]

You gonna make it public?

[@AlexeiX1]

You are probably someone who already has a previous background in 3D. You gotta be careful with these kinds of statements cause people will think they can start from scratch with no prior knowledge and make money in 2 weeks and that is not true.

[@damonlloyd6025]

Do you have prior experience with 3D and game engines?

[@forreutubey780]

I saw Unreal engine yesterday now I make 99k an hour man it's a beast 💪

[@addminustraitor8514]

I start learning 3D with UE5 last week and yesterday I got my first job and first income in single night. It is recommend to start this as I generate my income easily during my sleep yesterday.

[@ZephrusPrime]

Having to work more remote and freelance work since last year has shown me how valuable getting tools from other artist can be. Filling in gaps or just making your life easier in your work flow is where a good market can be found. Brushes, alphas, textures, meshes or even a quick tutorial can be worth a lot in the long run.

[@MR3DDev]

There is demand for high quality cinematic models, people like me wanna buy assets to make short films but they gotta be high res, no low poly bs. Just saying for that for any assets creator out there.

[@PrafulPrasad]

you can get them, for big bucks.

[@popfully4781]

Here's one, I watch this channel a lot to get ideas for my experimental scene I'm developing in UE. I would actually love to hire a freelancer to add some stylized flair to what I have. I can't stress enough if you are an artist please publish your artwork everywhere. I have literally built projects around seeing a few pieces from a particular artist. I even keep a mental note of amazing artist because what you are working on right now might not fight that artist but when the right match comes up you already have your mental match.

[@malebeery6832]

I keep note "not mental" of the artists I liked that I have come across and fit my projects needs "they are in different apps, you search for them", 16 artists I liked: 1st: day_toner esteo8492 longquechen ninjajo_art waveloop art_trufanov 2nd: abrarkhan.90 af_kuro legiontrashart wenjuinn beeple_crap wanoco4d 3rd: pan_ren_wei mlightorange michael_weisheim klarens

[@venturas3d]

Yes, this is an excellent advice to sell something from your previous projects .. For which you have already been paid .. Customers paid .. With a signed NDA .. How could I not have thought of this myself !? Thanks bro! ))

[@BadbitStudios]

Dude, awesome video! I just made the switch from blender to Unreal to make my music videos, cause UE5's new tech is just mouth-wateringly amazing. Thanks for all the great ideas, maybe now I can deliver a few less pizzas and make a bit more art ;)

Every time i watch your videos I get so motivated and do a list of the things I should do but then life happens.

My current studies is somehow related with this, as a Multimedia student. Hoping to learn more and gain some pocket money with this, even though I'm still a beginner and not sure if I can do this. But hey thank you, this video sparks my motivation!

[@StylizedStation]

Best of luck!

[@boredhat.847]

wow! more of this i'm obsessed!

[@malikjordan5405]

Glab that I listen to your video! I'll have to start all this right away! ✅

[@ScorpionVenomStudioGames]

Great video. Unreal engine has a lot to offer thats for sure.

[@ReubenAStern]

making music videos is a good one. I've done it. Because you can code unreal you can basically automate the process.

[@hobart0011]

great video thanks!

[@edwin4625]

0:57 So this is actually a thing. The head guy who created "Fractured Veil" an upcoming game has also made assets sold on the Unreal Market. The game 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' bought and uses his gun assets from the Unreal Store, so yeah, the first one is super legit, just make sure you put all the time and effort into it. In doing so, it becomes very high quality and many consumers WILL BUY IT.

[@jafarsadiq6226]

Thank you so much forsharing. I didn't knew many things

[@ryunosukesan]

When did Epic stop giving people 88% and revert back to giving you only 70% ? Clearly I am out of touch :( "Creative ways to make money with Unreal Engine: Make assets or code and sell it on Unity's Asset Store". Definite thumbs up right here since that is something I would never have thought of ! 🤣

Hi, a quick question, what do you think about virtual fashion industry? btw your tips and advices helps a lot.

[@ts3dprints732]

As an industrial 3d designer I have 15 years of objects and scenes I could upload to the market place. I really need to learn materials and lighting.

Great video sir! Archviz projects Courses and one my favorite, I learn more by teaching! build virtual worlds is my favorite type of work

[@bwiebertram]

buy or ask for scrapped ideas from sucessful artists and use them as a base for your own pieces

[@samsonheisey3115]

Thanks for this video. It really helped me get a good idea of a few things that may be better worth my time initially then focusing on a couple of other things. This may also help focus certain honing on a few things beforehand instead of diving into something that should probably wait a little longer. Will check out some of your other videos as well. Your effort to be succinct does not go unnoticed.

[@Braindrain85]

Cool VIdeo. Concerning the revenue share on the Epic Marketplace: You actually get 88% of the sale, while Epic gets only 12%.

[@StylizedStation]

Thanks for the clarification www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/epic-announces-unreal-engine-marketplace-88-12-revenue-share

[@erfanhap4758]

[@DennisTamayo]

The game engine can be good for rendering future computer animated films, same with Unity.

[@YuaASMR]

You're 100% right about bigger studios that are looking to spend money on stores. The most notable one right now is Turtle Rock with Back 4 Blood. That game has made them a sizeable chunk of cash and most of the game is made up of assets from the Unreal Marketplace. Of course they have some other things, either from in-house artists or freelancers, but it does show that people are 100% willing to buy good quality products that you may be able to upload.

[@JDunamis]

Hey Stylized Station! If you switch up your diet maybe the cost can go down! My food is the same price thank God. I do live in Michigan, but my diet is pretty good and about he same as pre pandemic. Brown rice, rotessory chicken, kale, butter, eggs, and oranges. Everything else I need I get to from nutrient supplements and vitamins. Maybe they cost a couple more dollars two of my favorites, but I can eat that everyday lol. Pretty sure I could eat for less than $200 a month and once I have my vitamins keep them in circulation with $50-70 a month or less. I hope this helps. It took me a while to get my diet down. I even have a water filter to cut down on bottled water and tap water doesn't make me feel good anymore now that I have been off of it for maybe 4 or 5 years. Once you have the filter replacement filter cartridges is less than $4 a month. I put the kale/ spinach in my nutribullet with two small oranges or one big one. I also like green grapes. I know I gave you tmi lol. God bless you!

[@upercat]

the problem with selling assets is that if you buy assets from different artist they will look different

[@firedragongamestudio]

Kimchi fried rice is really good!!! 👍

[@AflorAStudios]

thank you so much, really wish i had an ear to bend with all my newbie question.

[@hulksmash3259]

One question, when you sell a asset on any platform ... how do you protect your asset from being copied and then sold on? is there any way to protect assets?

[@PrafulPrasad]

if by copied you mean once someone downloads your asset can they give it to someone else for free? Then yes they can and there is no way to prevent it, you cannot watermark the asset. However mathematically the chances that someone takes your asset and distributes it to a huge number of people are slim

[@Kris_misra]

Hey 1 question for ya. Do UNREAL ENGINE ASSET STORE ONLY ACCEPT ASSETS MADE BY UNREAL ENGINE OR IT CAN ACCEPT ASSETS FROM ANY OTHERS AS WELL?

[@orestesdd]

Can I run UE4 or 5 on an iMac such as an iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019), CPU 3 Ghz 6-Core Intel i5, RAM 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, GPU Radeon Pro 560X 4GB? Thank you for your videos.

[@darkwarlock4560]

The thing is, you also need to from a design point keep all the assets in the same or very similar style. One thing about bigger companies is they can afford a professional modeler that can make all assets in a game in the same aesthetic. Sound effects are one thing you can probably if you're new can just buy a box of from these stores because no one will knock you for using the same door opening sound found in fifty other games. Music scores are different, it's one of the bigger challenges to me besides scripting, graphic assets and voice acting.

[@kalencrowe103]

there's a lot of courses out there. does anyone have some good suggestions on xr / 3d related ones to catch up after a 10 year hiatus?

Ok, I'll ask it: What about taking screenshots and videos to sell to stock image/video websites?

If you somehow managed to get monetized, you'll always be living in fear of having your account flagged and taken down from copyright infringement. Not a very intelligent long-term business plan.

[@JuanJC3D]

@@StylizedStation But if you're using assets from the marketplace or TurboSquid, etc., (or your own) and setting the scenes up yourself, what would be the grounds for copyright infringement?
