It's been for some timeanyway Unreal is absolutely great, you can set up a great scene in no time, i worked on this one with 3 other guys recently:

I don't know anything about programming stuff in there though, Unity is great as well very open and easy to use, though definatly harder to get a better rendered result.
Thanks! yea i could definatly try a ship or some track work like buildings/billboards and stuff like that ^^
I work in 3ds max and can supply you guys with all kinds of exports and texture maps ofcourse, if you decide to try out UDK i can help out getting all the meshes in there and setting up the scene rendered nicely![]()
