How to Leverage Game Engines for Design, Development, and Manufacturing
In this on-demand webinar, hosted by Automotive World, Perforce CTO and VP of Product Management Brad Hart and Mike Weiss, Senior Solution Architect for Epic Games, discuss some of the innovative ways game engines like Unreal Engine are being used by leading OEMs — including BMW, Lotus, and more. Brad and Mike also give a primer on the foundational development tools required to take full advantage of this technology.
Key topics and takeaways:
- Innovative ways OEMs and suppliers are using real-time 3D engines today.
- The possibilities game engines offer the automotive industry—from breaking down siloes between engineering, design, and R&D, to expediting production.
- What your modern development pipeline and data management tech stack need to support efficient use of this technology.
Automotive Design and Development Has Never Been More Complex
To innovate in today’s market, OEMs and suppliers face unprecedented levels of complexity. Whether you’re leveraging game engines for concept design and prototyping, simulation, application development, or HMI design and development, you have to manage:
Growing, globally dispersed teams.
Hundreds to thousands of cross-functional developers contributing to projects simultaneously.
Projects containing many file types, some of which cannot be merged.
File sizes that are growing rapidly year to year.
Greater security risks to your IP than ever before.
Aging tech stacks that are struggling with the pace of modern development.
Growing, globally dispersed teams.
Hundreds to thousands of cross-functional developers contributing to projects simultaneously.
Projects containing many file types, some of which cannot be merged.
To meet these challenges and effectively leverage game engine technology, you need a foundation of high-performant, scalable, and secure version control.
