Cryengine 5 and Commercial Arch Viz

EricRLA

Hey guys I'm trying to find out if the new pay what you want model for Cryengine 5 allows for commercial arch viz? The only EULA I've been able to find references the cryengine subscription service, which does not allow for cryengine to be used for anything but games. For some reason I can't post to ask on the cryengine forum. The button to create a new post hasn't been doing anything when I click it. Anyways, I anticipate that the EULA hasn't changed, but wanted to see if anyone had seen or heard different. Thanks a lot.

It seems the EULA hasn't changed: https://www.cryengine.com/ce-terms

Thanks for the response! Doesn't make much sense to me that cryengine would still restrict it even when other big engines promote it. Especially with architecture. Seems like they are missing a pretty big market.
