It was absolutely a tiny amount of effort in comparison to developing your own fully featured render pipeline. As is anything I've had to do. That is, after all, the point of using a commercial engine. It does the heavy lifting, I just need to tweak it. > I hope my original message didn't come across as "there is no work involved in using a preexisting engine!" Absolutely not. I've come across the argument about making a game for the end user experience before and it always strikes me as a case of not understanding the capabilities of your tools. I just wished, more for others who come across this than people with our experience, to add that some modification of the tools is to be expected. > That example doesn't effect the "user experience" of the game either Let me finish by saying that it's true, unless you count your game having stable frame rate on weaker platforms as part of the user experience. ;)
