@Mazen, no interiors are still considered architecture. Was there a rule or something you read that made you think otherwise?

You can use any 3rd party renderer that works with 3ds Max.

That makes sense.
My question is regarding the definition of post production software mentioned in article 2 of the Brief, in the General section. Does that include 3rd party render engines, or is this by definition of the product per se a competition of 3dsmax with either its proprietary render engine or the mentalray that it's bought and distributed?

Autodesk has to be very careful about speaking about new versions before the are released. Because they are a publicly traded company SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) rules dictate that if they make any announcement of a new product they have to declare revenues differently which could drastically affect their bottom line and thus share prices. It's a major deal. People get fired over screwing up this sort of thing.
Regarding questions about the competition, feel free to post them here or email to 3dsmaxhero@cgarchitect.com

I see -I actually thought 2014 was in the pipeline, despite what I've been hearing about Autodesk and their reluctance towards Windows 8.
I am new to this, so may I ask whether all questions should be directed to the email in the Brief, or can some be posted in the Comments here?
Thank you beforehand.
