The Epic Games guys have updated their Unreal Engine website (Thanks Mike Z) with word that a new release for the engine licensees is about to go out the door. They have decided to show off a bit of their stuff along with the news.

The Unreal Engine includes exporters for Discreet's 3D Studio Max and Alias|Wavefront's Maya. These allow you to export fully textured objects and fully textured and animated characters. We've created a character model, and more importantly, a skeleton, that we're going to provide licensees to help get them get quickly up to speed with facial animation techniques in Maya. The Maya model contains 85 bones and is completely set up for detailed facial animation.
Of course everyone will start making comparisons to the DOOM stuff, so here ya go.
