Does anyone have any links to Architectural work created with this engine.

I'm also looking for information regarding the use of this engine for such work.
Arch Viz is mostly used to demonstrate 3D scenes to clients, its not about selling copies etc, so am I free to use this engine for such uses?

If anyone has any info or insight it would e great, I was looking into Unity for this, but might have to reconsider now.

Lastly, can you drag and drop maya or 3ds files into UT3, or do they have to be turned into static meshes and still merged with brushes?

Thanks.

If you plan to use UDK for your business, you'll need a commercial license. The Unreal Engine has been used a lot for architectural visualization. The most well known example is probably the new Dallas Cowboy's Stadium. http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/dallas-cowboys-new-stadium-built-with-videogame-technology/1288021

Thanks. I'll stick to Unity then unless they offer a streamlined copy of it for a few hundred. No one is seriously going to pay those crazy fee's to use it, particually when there are already raltime apps for the arch viz sector like RTRE/UNITY for less than £1000.

That was probably a PR thing. I wrok in this sector and used to work in videogames, no way would anyone dump that much money into something that they essentially use as a model viewer.
