Artlantis Studio v2.1

With Artlantis Studio you can create spectacular photorealistic 3D rendering perspectives and animations!



Artlantis Studio is among the fastest multi-platform photorealistic rendering/animation applications on the market today. It's an ideal complement to many popular CAD and BIM (Building Information Modeling) programs including ArchiCAD, formZ, Revit, SketchUp Pro, and Vectorworks. Artlantis' broad compatibility enables you to quickly and easily create pollished renderings from your model that will help you stand out to potential clients.

You’ll find below a preview of its new features.

• Real time radiosity
  
  Thanks to its new and original rendering engine, Artlantis is the first and the only application able to calculate radiosity con- sistently and in real time within the preview window. -the final rendering is really similar to the preview window -the Open GL mode has been considerably enhanced, faster and more accurate.
  
  
• A very natural Heliodon
  
  The new version of Artlantis improves all the lightings, with the addition of : -a “physical sky” endowed with the sun, the moon and the stars that enlighten the project in global illumination -the automatic balance between natural and artificial lighting -the manual positioning for the sun, or automatic Sun Positioning at 45° for parallel view rendering -a new clouds editor for even more realism : cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus... ; fog and pollution are also on display. Artlantis heliodon still allows to enlight the scene according to season time, date and geographic location.
  
  
• New post-process adjustments
  
  New options enable to modify the luminance, the contrast, and the color index of a rendered image during the post-pro- cess phase. It allows as well to add grain, contour lines or a pastel painting effect... for a fantastic new shading quality. These adjustments are displayed directly in the preview window and can be all mixed together.
  
  
• New shaders properties
  
  Artlantis 2.1 offers new automatic texture definition. The shaders have new properties : specular reflection, shiningness, blur effect, normal mapping... for a considerable new shading quality. New function for advanced users, they can now crea- te theirs own shaders through a complete interface.
  
  
• New catalog ergonomy
  
  Artlantis offers a new Catalog, that allows to pilot the whole 2D and 3D medias and the postcards from the same window. A third column appears in the catalog with a better view of the selected item. The use of medias doesn’t require anymore to be browsed by catalog, the user simply has to add favourite files to the Artlantis Catalog.

Artlantis Studio 2.1
All the new functionalities of Artlantis 2.1 are included in Artlantis Studio, plus the new animation capacities:

• Animation of all the shaders parameters
• Animation of all the post process effects
• New 3D animated people collection
• Use movie like a texture to simulate a TV screen for example

Speed has been a key goal for Artlantis since the initial release, and once again, this new version 2.1 focuses exclusively on this issue to preserve Artlantis’ leading role among the fastest rendering applications on the market today.

More Development Highlights:

• Enhanced support for multi-core processors
• Geometry optimization
• Enhanced light management with special focus on soft shadows

INTEROPERABILITY:
Artlantis is a stand-alone rendering solution that is committed to interoperability. Abvent, developers of Artlantis, have worked hard on the exchange of data between Artlantis and the leading CAD applications in order to make 3D models more accessible to you.

As a result, Artlantis reads the latest versions of the most common file formats such as .dxf, .dwg, .dwf, .fbx or .obj. SketchUp files can be opened directly in Artlantis, which is a big step toward a direct data transfer between a modeler and an independent renderer.

Built-in plug-ins allow the many popular BIM and CAD software to export 3D models directly to the Artlantis file format:

• ArchiCAD Plug-In: Modelize a project into ArchiCAD export it and edit it with Artlantis. Return to ArchiCAD modify the geometry of the project, export a new Artlantis file and recover automatically the previous work done into Artlantis.
• SketchUp Plug-In: Artlantis is the perfect software for SketchUp Pro users, allowing them to present their projects using 3D photo realistic renderings. Artlantis enables you to improve and bring realism to your SketchUp Pro models with 3D objects and textures.
• VectorWorks Plug-In: Artlantis is the perfect software for vectorworks 2008 users, allowing them to present their projects with 3D photorealistic renderings. Artlantis enables you to improve and bring realism to your Vectorworks models with 3D objects and textures.
• Revit Architecture Plug-In: Create your model in Revit 2009, export and edit it in Artlantis. Return to Revit, make changes to the geometry, export a new Artlantis file and recover your previous work done in Artlantis.
