I am very interested in possibilities of generating 3d models as well. There is a fair amount of 3d models out there so it should be possible. I suspect we will end up using multiple 2d images at different angles to generate a 3d model. I h

The watermarked version might be more prolific with better metatags and descriptions around them. The non watermarked versions are likely internal only and have far less diverse descriptions.

Time of day and day of the week can impact such things. Lastly, that's just the fickleness of social media sometimes. Sometimes a thing will take off and sometimes it won't. A recent example is Among Us was released for 1+ year as

Yes. Sorta. Unreal has a blueprint diffing tool to compare against different commits. Its a frequently overlooked feature. Itd be great to have more accessible outside the editor.

There is confirmation its coming this year(2022). They previously stated they wanted to release beta late 2021 but got delayed. I think it'll be a massive game changer for unreal and am super excited for it.
