Short answer, no.
Longer answer:
Yes, but it depends on your computer.
(the holodeck-computer on starship enterprise can handle it easily, but is difficult to buy)

Real time rendering is already available on todays graphics workstations. I know XSI will allow you to do this. I'm not familiar enough with other modeling/rendering software enough to know which other software will allow for real time rendering.
You can have fully rendered scenes in real time using techniques such as Refraction, reflection, global illumination, etc... It's all very impressive and gives an incredible time advantage to artists trying to get the scene just right.
There is also a custom display host in XSI that should allow you to hook the display engine into XSI so that you could get immediate feedback on how your models look in the game engine. BSP calculations will not be real time. So it's not going to be perfect until Octree is available.
EDIT: After I posted this, I thought I would try to find the resources I had seen that told me about the realtime rendering through XSI. I thought I had seen them on the NVIDIA web site. But I wasn't able to find it again. I did find an article about tight integration of XSI with the Nvidia graphics workstation cards.

I see. So you want 3d Gamestudio to produce graphics like the real time ingame screenshot of this game?
Yes, that is correct! That is realtime in-game graphics. Unfortunately, that screenshot is only a digital screenshot directly from the development kit(on PC.) On Xbox, unfortunately the graphics will naturally degrade(I believe, it is an anti aliasing issue.)
==================
Once conitec produces a decent manual for their own product, I'm sure you'll be seeing alot of games with superb graphical quality. Until then...

Sonic2nd, I believe you are correct with your signature ... you ARE the Michael Jordon of SPAM. Quote:

What does a manual have to do with "superb graphical quaility"? Will a better manual increase the graphical capabilities of the engine itself? Will a better manual increase the artistic skill of the person using the engine? I am sorry, but I just don't get this comment.

yes, this image is only a hard textures working, you can archived this in gamestudio.
about Real time rendering, well when maya also can (hardware render buffer), yes...
but your need a very expensive computer and you not can create a big levels when a lot of textures modeles as in a game engine, and some channel not can render.
the games engines it is a 50% of texture work, 30% of triks and a 20% of technology.
when 6.22 you can use saders, but for now that kind of a beta public.
final in my opinion with better manuals you can create better grafics and more optimizate, there is a lot of difference among what you can really create with gamestudio and what you see in the manuals and tutoriales, make a superb level you need many c-scrip triks, noy only textures skill.
bya bya
ps: conitec could make a mini contest to create a superb level
