Who uses unity?
Hello, I want to begin developing iphone games, and I have never used a big and complete engine like unity before.
My question is, do artists use unity? or just developers?
I ask this because I will start a project soon, but am not at the point where I can start developing anything. Right now my brother(artist) and I(programmer) are finishing up the game designs, and planning how we will develop the project. I need to know if he will need to use the engine to develop art because we can't afford two 3000$ licences.
I was wondering if a developer can do all these things like lighting and what not or do usually artists do those? I am not experienced with large projects... We mostly just made small demos together with small 2d engines.
Good news, you don't have to worry about any of that. You can use your single Pro license on two systems Unity Faq. A programmer or artist can do things like lighting, placing assets, it very easy to do through unity editor.
To make your 3d art you might want to try Blender (free) and start making game assets now.
Unity is selling per seat which means one at a time, but you can have multiple users at one seat. (no lawyer, just googled the definition)
But isn't the licence per person(2 computers, but same person on both)
I am just afraid he will need to use unity for making the game look nice (other than developing the art with other programs). I think I can probably do most things myself with a little bit of his help( I am not artistic) but if I realise he needs to use it it will suck to pay another 3000$ as we don't have such income.
In the faqs it says it can't be used simultaneously by multiple people. I was wondering if $$anonymous$$y brother can use it when I am not there just to perk the levels with his artistic $$anonymous$$d, without a second license?
that's not entirely correct... the faq states:
"One Unity license is good for two simultaneous installations per seat. This is a courtesy service so that you may run Unity on both your laptop and desktop computer, for example. It may only be used by a single person, however, and not simultaneous usage by multiple."
so they couldn't share the single licence, unfortunately
Why wouldn't he be able to? If I have unity running,and my friend, grandpa, whoever comes and start coding/playing around that is fine. Thats like saying my friend can't play my valve games, on my computer.
This is my problem. He will not really be using unity. Let's say the project took 1000 hours on unity, he would probably only be there 30-50 hours to make sure I don't make/place things in a bad way. To make the levels look nice. It's not worth 3000$ i don't think this should be illegal but I don't know.
