• A unique 3D rendering application
• Create high-quality still images, QuickTime VR, Panoramas and Animations
• Features an intuitive interface and powerful controls

Artlantis is the fastest stand-alone 3D rendering application developed especially for architects and designers, ideal for quickly and easily creating high resolution 3D renderings, QuickTime VR Panoramas, QuickTime VR Objects and animations. A recognized leader in preview window technology, Artlantis is the rendering software used by architects, designers and urban design professionals in more than 80 countries

Artlantis interfaces directly with ArchiCAD, Revit, VectorWorks, SketchUp Pro, and Arc+ . With the addition of the DWF, OBJ and FBX import formats and updated DXF, DWG and 3DS plug-ins, Artlantis seamlessly interacts with all the leading CAD software as well.

Full radiosity: Display your 3D model in global illumination! The new and improved rendering engine lets you generate accurate radiosity images in real time within the 3D preview window. The final rendering is consistent with the 3D preview window, giving you a faithful and accurate representation of the high-quality images you’ll produce from your 3D models.

Real sky simulation: The latest version of Artlantis improves all lightings conditions. With the addition of a 'physical sky', the sun, moon and stars are now visible elements that cast light onto the project using global illumination. A range of magnificent clouds are also available : cirrus, cumulonimbus or stratus add an extra realistic touch to the skies.

Automatic light adjustment: Thanks to its new automatic light adjustment feature, Artlantis dynamically balances the lighting levels in your scenes from dawn till sunset, and from outside to inside a building, and thus allows you to perform photorealistic four-stars images and animations.

Integrated image post-processing: Save time by doing your image post-processing in Artlantis... no need to use other image editing tools. Artlantis’ new options enable users to modify the luminance, the contrast and the colour index of a rendered image during post-processing. It also allows users to add grain, contour lines or a pastel painting effect, for fantastic new stylistic possibilities. These effects are displayed directly in the 3D preview window and can be used individually or combined.

Shader creator: Artlantis new version offers new automatic texture definition. The shaders have new properties : specular reflection, shiningness, blur effect, normal mapping... for a considerable new shading quality. A new function is available for advanced users, they can now create their own shaders through a complete interface.

Rich Media: With an optional collection of 25 CD of media - shaders and 3D objects - Artlantis enables users to quickly work on different scenarios and simulate life-like virtual scenes in a realistic environment. When the new Artlantis version is released, Artlantis family will also introduce 5 new media CD’s : 3D Animated People, Bilboard People, Cars, Stones and Marble Floor. All easily controlled with a simple drag&drop into the 3D preview window, these shaders and objects enhance the photorealism of your scenes.

And more Productivity Tools: Compatibility with Space NavigatorTM 3D mouse that allows intuitive and powerful 3D navigation ; anchored target point for a camera or a light that follows the trajectory ; magic wand for easy object extraction ; Open GL navigation with shadows; automatic or manual view point update ; looped object animation, use of a movie as a texture.

Artlantis Media

To complement the standard library, Abvent offers CD-ROMs with theme collections designed specially for Artlantis by industry partners or independent designers. These provide a multitude of materials, textures and objects that you can use for your synthesis images (for Macintosh and Windows).

Artlantis Shaders- Shaders parameters and shaders creation

Artlantis enables users to quickly work on different scenarios and simulate life-like virtual scenes in a realistic environment.

Each object, each surface, each detail of the 3D scene can be applied to your 3D models with a simple drag and drop from the catalog, which can be constantly enhanced.

These high-resolution shaders are seamless tileable and includes bump, relief, realistic effects which can easily be used for architectural renderings. Provided are construction material, floor shaders, realistic depictions of wood, parquet, laminate, marble- and granite floors, as well as natural stone, cobblestone, weathered and aged floor materials, and brick, different marbles, many ground styles…

These shaders are created from Dosch Design Textures©.

Artlantis new version offers new automatic texture definition. The shaders have new properties : specular reflection, shininess, blur effect, normal mapping… for a considerable new shading quality. A new function is available for advanced users : the Shader Editor. You can now create your own shaders through a complete interface.

Artlantis Media- Artlantis R Professional Series Shaders and 3D Objects

• 3D-Human models, in different positions
• Photorealistic, close-up capable 3d-plants with a convincing look
• High resolution, seamless tileable shaders, which can be applied to your 3D-models

You can dress each object, surface and detail of a 3D scene with its own material (called a 'shader') by simply dragging and dropping from a catalog that you create and populate however you like. There are collections of optional additional shaders available on CD-ROM, so you can expand the standard library whenever you wish. You can also drag objects to the desired location to insert them into a scene. Their catch points will react based on their characteristic. For example, a floor lamp will always be vertical while a sconce will be positioned perpendicular to the wall.
