I love it. Ever since I saw a recreation of Fallingwater in the Half Life engine (1), I thought this would be the future of architectural design (or at least delivering design to clients). Is this becoming common now?

As a guy who works in an Architectural office, I know people who are pushing for this, however in my office specifically we still have quite a few directors who still refuse to use Revit / Autocad and still design with pencil and paper, so there is very strong push-back.

I'm actually downloading UE4 as I type this, I'm going to have a play around with importing AutoCad maps and then demo to the Directors, in an effort to show them how visually impressive UE4 could be as opposed to dry meetings with clients showing them floor plans. It's quite a rare skill to be able to properly visualize projects in 3d from floor plans, and I've often seen clients going cross eyed in attempts to hold all the info in their head at once.
