Features

The International Reference

Highly renowned CAD editors from around the world endorse Artlantis due to its exceptionally simple and intuitive interface and the power behind the pioneering technologies that Artlantis utilizes. It is this that makes Artlantis the rendering solution of reference around the globe.

By communicating directly with the world’s leading CAD software developers such as ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, AutoCAD, form ‘Z’, ARC+, Amapi, ZOOM and ZOOM GDL, Artlantis can now import many standard file formats (DXF, DWG, 3D Studio, IGES, VRML, ElectricImage, RIB etc). This solution also enables you to save your images and animations in the most widely used formats (TIFF, PICT, TGA, BMP, AVI, EPIX (Piranesi), QuickTime Movie, QuickTime VR Panorama and VR object.

Artlantis offers outstanding efficiency and productivity in regard to producing top-quality, photo-realistic presentations, independent of the modeller used, on any Macintosh or PC configuration, meaning Artlantis keeps hold of it’s title as the ultimate tool for communicating architectural and design projects.

Mastering and Managing Real-Time

Artlantis gained its worldwide reputation with the help of its revolutionary real-time previewing. At any moment, every single element can be interactively modified and visualised instantaneously in the preview window. Some of these elements include textures, billboards, surface patterns, and integration of multiple light sources, global illumination, soft shadows and depth of field.

These fast, precise and flexible fine tuning capabilities on any 3D scene result in outstandingly realistic and atmospheric images and animations. Simple Drag and Drop functionality enable you to easily select shaders and billboards etc to apply to your image. Included is a library of shaders and billboards, organized into families, for easy searching, and to facilitate their installation, distribution and management.

You can even create personalized shaders libraries, and graphically modify these to ensure you get the exact finish you’re looking for. There are plenty of modifications available for shaders, from colour alteration, to reflection adjustment. What’s more, everything is interactively controlled in real time by a simple use of the cursor.

Interactive Simulation

Artlantis ensures comfortable manipulation and permanent interactivity whether your final presentation is a still image, an animation or a virtual reality panorama.

You are given complete control of all types of operations from inserting a project into its real-time environment to rendering parallel view or sections of the 3D view, from creating and editing animation sequences, to manipulating camera parameters and behaviour. From setting speed and timing based on sun-light studies, to exploring panoramic views. Whatever result you’re after, you will have the power to achieve this.

You can even enrich your scene with people and plants and by applying 3D atmospheric effects and generating parallel views to scale. These are just a small selection of the multitude of possibilities offered by Artlantis to achieve personalized renderings of outstanding realism to show you the true power and capabilities of Artlantis 4.5.

The Age of Multimedia and Communication

Thanks to Artlantis, the once hidden arena of photo realistic rendering, animation and virtual reality are now accessible to experts and occasional users alike. Professionals in 3D imagery, multimedia, communication, Internet, and CAD and Design professionals as well as beginners can now harness the ease of use and powerful possibilities of Artlantis.

By using this system, you are given the power to create interactive 3D presentations, VR objects, VR panoramas, and 3D animation that allows the viewer to explore 3D objects, interior spaces, and the exterior of architectural projects that can be integrated into the real, existing environment.
