Unity is used by many indie game studios but also by animation teams and app developers as it makes coding easy; Unity uses a visual scripting method to create scripts via nodes without needing to code. It means newcomers can focus on creating 3D models, animations, game design and more.

Read our VR tutorials that cover some of the basic skills you'd need to start making virtual reality projects in Unity, and read our guides to the best laptops for 3D modelling and the best laptops for game development.

Of course, we can't talk about Unity without mentioning Unreal Engine, the two compete in the same space. Read our feature 'Unity versus Unreal Engine' for a good idea which platform could be best for you.
