https://www.o3de.org/ (O3DE) is one of a number of 3D development engines competing in the thriving online gaming sector — not to mention the nascent metaverse market. Unlike its more well-known counterparts, Unity and Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, O3DE is open source.

The focus of our call was metaverse development (there is a special “metaverse track” at the conference).

I asked O’Brien what the thinking was in welcoming Epic Games, since it appears to directly compete with the foundation.

In the case of O3DE and Unreal Engine, the partnership allows 3D developers to “move media assets and limited code between the engines,” said O’Brien.
