Shiva 3d, Cult 3d, Ogre, DXstudio, Espirient creator, Panda 3d. As for simple visualisation tools (same as Lumion) checkout Twinmotion (therenderingkiller.com).

They work with Crytek since 2004 for urban, architectural and design viz.

1.UDK doesn’t have such quality of real-time lightning as CryEngine has. It has no differed lightning. It has weak Screen Space Ambient Occlusion.
2.UDK is not so user friendly as Unity is. But it does have a better graphics.
3.UDK supports only PC. No Web, no Mac. CryEngine does not support them either ๐Ÿ™
4.I don’t think royalty is very fair. Unity has a fixed price and no royalty.
Well UDK does have few advantages, but that’s another story. By the way I was a Big Unreal Engine fan few years ago.
Next year, Crytek will release their version of “free” engine. Will have a look at it. And Unity 3 is out already…

Their licensing for commercial use seems very fair, and use of it for non-commercial learning and development is free.

The visuals are stunning and the walking people and flying birds are giving the scene a “sense of life” A truly great and inspiring work ๐Ÿ™‚

For commercial viz I use Unity.
