What kind of developers should I hire in order to build a desktop assets manager app?
We are a digital agency building interactive, real-time architectural visualizations. We have expertise in Unreal Engine and everything related to 3D art, but I would like to know what kind of professionals/developers are needed in order to build a desktop app like Quixel Bridge (https://quixel.com/bridge). It's an assets manager for 3D content pulling data from a cloud server.
Thanks
You could achieve this using ElectronJS if the main aim is to just visualize images, videos, e.t.c. Basically you need a good web developer that knows how to create electron apps.
Despite being a simple marketplace for digital 3d models, a specific need in our case is the ability to download a zip package from a web server, this package contains a 3d model, shaders, and textures...everything already setup to work out of the box inside Unreal Engine. The zip gets unpacked locally and the required files imported automatically into a currently open Unreal Engine project.
Why you are need a desktop app developer? It can be developed as a web app. Thanks to this, you do not need to install/uninstall, upgrade, or OS requirements.
Being system agnostic would be great. I am targeting a desktop app just because Quixel does it and works pretty nicely...and I don't know if the same can be done through a web app. In short, through a marketplace/asset manager the user should be able to download fully shaded 3d models and, at least this is what Quixel Bridge does, bring them automatically into a currently open Unreal Engine project.
