 +===== History =====
 +
 +In the year **2010**, Ubisoft has announced the **UbiArt Framework** alongside [[https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_Origins|Rayman Origins]], an episodic game with the engine in-use. The engine has been developed with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubisoft_Montpellier|Ubisoft Montpellier]] and [[https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Michel_Ancel|Michel Ancel]]. UbiArt's purpose was to serve artists and animators a reliable and easy engine usability and environment.
 +
 +**Michel Ancel** has planned to release the engine for public releasing and licensing, however, no plans have been confirmed and the engine has remained close-sourced to Ubisoft executives.
 +
 +On an interview with Ubisoft CEO **Yves Guillemot** on **April 19 2019** ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ewXj4RO5A&t=2650s)), he has stated out that executives has been struggling to use the engine and pointed out that //"the tools were difficult to use"//. There has been plans to distribute the engine to other Ubisoft studios. However, they decided not to as they wanted to //“spend a lot of time with a lot of people to actually help people to use it.”// Yves Guillemot has mentioned that the engine has not been abandoned: //"It's still there, and you can see other things using it, but it's not as predominant as it used to be"//, leaving a note that **the engine has not been forgotten.**
