''Unreal Engine 3'' is a computer [[game engine]] developed by [[Epic Games]]. It is the third generation of [[Unreal Engine]] (UE3), designed for [[DirectX]] 9/10 [[Personal computer|PC]]s, the [[Xbox 360]] and [[PlayStation 3]].<ref>[http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/technology/ue30.shtml Unreal Technology]</ref>
Its renderer supports many advanced techniques including [[High dynamic range rendering|HDRR]], [[per-pixel lighting]], and dynamic shadows, and builds upon the tools available in previous versions of the engine.

Epic has used this version of the engine for their in-house games ''[[Unreal Tournament 3]]'', ''[[Gears of War]]'' and an improved version for ''[[Gears of War 2]]''. Due to aggressive licensing, this current iteration has garnered a great deal of support from several big licensees, including [[Atari]], [[Activision]], [[Capcom]], [[Disney]], [[Konami]], [[Koei]], [[2K Games]], [[Midway Games]], [[THQ]], [[Ubisoft]], [[Sega]], [[Sony]], [[Electronic Arts]], [[Square Enix]], [[3D Realms]] and more.

==Updates==
[[Epic Games]] announced at [[Game Developers Conference|GDC]] 2009 some improvements made to the Unreal Engine 3. These included<ref>http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/03/16/epic-games-to-show-off-new-unreal-engine-3-features-at-gdc/</ref>
*High-quality static lighting with next-generation effects, such as soft shadows with accurate [[Umbra#Penumbra | penumbrae]], [[Diffuse reflection | diffuse]] and [[Specular reflection | specular]] inter-reflection and [[Color bleeding (computer graphics) | color bleeding]]
*The ability to add fracture effects to [[Static mesh | static meshes]] to simulate destructible environments
*[[Soft body dynamics | soft-body physics]]
*Simulation of large crowds.

==Non-Gaming Use==

In addition to the game industry, UE3 has also seen adoption by many non-gaming projects including [[CAD/CAM|construction simulation and design]], driving simulation, virtual reality shopping malls and film storyboards{{Citation needed| reason=The previous author had put this here, I'm assuming he/she can provide the needed citation|date=January 2010}}

In December 2009, Epic demoed UE3 running on [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s 3rd generation [[iPod touch]]. They said that this will also support [[iPhone]] 3GS, and also an unknown mobile platform set to be unveiled at CES 2010.<ref>[http://anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3695]</ref>
