Pretty cool clip under the Portfolio section of http://www.archengine.org/ too (ArchEngine Overview Video), although not the most inspiring architecture in the world. 1 billion dollars doesn't get you much these days.
I wish they'd captured some of the actual presentations they'd done within the environment...
I think they need to put a lot more work into the stylistics. If they can integrate with Sketchup and Revit for the modelling, they should be able to borrow some of the style available in those packages.
But I can't wait till an architectural engine is available to the smaller firms. I don't think my boss would see the benefit of hiring a team of programmers.
No, it's not targeted at architects. We're working at the edge of the software's capabilities in a number of ways, and everything has involved a lot of complexity. But for architects, I don't think those things need such a complex process.
For instance, why do you need to go through the process of re-importing models over and over again as you refine them in other packages? Why can't you link a Revit model to auto-update in UT3? It sounds like this architecture company is addressing some of the work flow issues.

Jacob, isn't it now?
Yes and no.
Yes, you can use UT3 as an architect.

And then Autodesk just needs to sort out all of it's many workflow issues in Revit, and we're set!
