Perhaps it needs no introduction, but

is used in many games and is increasingly finding use in other industries, like film and television and recently released version 5.3. Although Unreal Engine isn’t open source, Unreal Engine subscribers have access to the source via GitHub where Epic accepts customer contributions.
