If I used Unity or UE for machinima or a graphic novel, would that count as personal or commercial use when I am not distributing the executable code?  I have never gotten a clear answer when asking this before in other forums.  I'd like to be able to sell a graphic novel or receive revenue from Youtube, but even in the best case would not be getting anywhere near enough money to license either engine commercially.

You would need to ask Unity or UE them selfs what they consider personal or commercial use.

Could always ask around about app's engines for machinima.

I thought Blender has a realtime render engine.

Free trueSpace has a realtime render engine.
easy to use probably not the best quality thou.
any 3D card as far as I know.

but most n best realtime render engines require a Real time 3D Card.
better the engine n card better the renders.
