I'm considering learning a game engine to use for rendering animation, and I was wondering what users here preferred and why. I have installed all three in the past, Cry I dived deepest into but I was definitely no pro, so I have no big investment in any of the engines yet.

What I'm really looking for is ease of use, compatibility with iClone exports, and a community of filmmakers that have figured all the details out and can offer guidance.Thoughts?
