AWS has a 3D game engine part of their plans for cloud gaming https://aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/

So it is totally in their interest to invest in populae tooling that could improve 3D asset creation pipelines.

People online talk about lumberyard being frustrating to use and in-progress on several fronts. The docs are better than unreals at first glance but the community isn’t massive so I’m not sure how easy it would be to debug any issues that came up. It’s forked from cryengine iirc, so it probably is amazing with outdoor vegetation-heavy scenes. I hope to try it out one day, but unreal has been very nice to use so far

Lumberyard is widely hated by folks working at Amazon and the only external folks I’m aware of using it are folks who moved from the engine it is based on.

My understanding is they are moving away from it internally, but I have no privileged info there.
