Artlantis Studio v2.0.3.3.

Artlantis Studio is a unique software application developed especially for architects and designers, ideal for quickly and easily creating high quality 3D renderings, QuickTime VR panoramas, objects and animations. A recognized leader in preview window technology, Artlantis is the rendering software used by over 167,000 architects, designers and urban design professionals in more than 80 countries.

Artlantis interfaces directly with ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, SketchUp Pro, and Arc+. With the recent 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, including Revit Architecture, 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, CINEMA 4D, LightWave, and modo.

Real-time Preview in Global Illumination
Like
its predecessor, Artlantis is designed based on the original concept of preview window interactivity, with user-defined settings and modifications. The new and improved rendering engine allows you to generate accurate radiosity images in real time within the 3D preview window. The final rendering is consistent with the 3D preview window, giving you an accurate representation of the high-quality images you’ll produce from your 3D models. The preview image is refreshed each time a change is made to the lighting, cameras or environment settings, enabling you to control all adjustments without losing time. The extremely high speed of its computing engines makes it possible to display the preview window in radiosity at all times.

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

Real sky simulation
The latest version of Artlantis improves all lighting conditions. With the addition of a “physical sky,” the sun, the moon and the stars are now visible elements that cast light onto the project using global illumination. A range of magnificent clouds is also available: cirrus, cumulonimbus, cirrocumulus and stratus clouds add a more realistic touch to the sky in your renderings.

Automatic light adjustment
Thanks to its new automatic light adjustment feature, Artlantis dynamically balances the lighting levels in your scenes from dawn till dusk, and from outside to inside a building, allowing you to create photo-realistic images and animations.

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

Shader creator
Artlantis’s latest version offers innovations in automatic texture definition. The shaders have new properties — specular reflection, shiningness, blur effect, normal mapping — for a considerably improved shading quality. In addition, advanced users can now create their own shaders through a complete interface.

Artlantis Media
Themed collections of materials, parametric textures, and 3D objects available on CD-ROMs and online round out the innovative Artlantis family product line. Artlantis Media enable users to quickly and easily simulate life-like scenes in a realistic environment.
The collection of CD-ROMs includes: Shaders (Cultured stone, Floor marble, Construction materials, Floor Pro, Ground Pro, Wood Pro), 3D Objects (People, Vehicles, Plants & Trees and Furniture) and Billboards. All easily controlled with a simple drag & drop into the 3D preview window, these permanently growing collections of shaders, textures, and objects enhance the photo-realism of your renderings.

Additional Productivity Tools:
Compatibility with SpaceNavigator? 3D mouse allows intuitive and powerful 3D navigation; an anchored target point for a camera or light that follows the trajectory; a magic wand for easy object extraction; OpenGL navigation with shadows; automatic or manual viewpoint update; looped animation, and use of movie textures.

Connectivity
Artlantis combines the most advanced and efficient functions for realistic simulation of hardware and lighting needed for any 3D project. Communicating directly with leading CAD architecture software (such as ArchiCAD™, VectorWorks™, SketchUp™ Pro, and Arc+™), Artlantis has the advantage of import functions for the main CAD formats.

Direct connectivity
ArchiCAD, VectorWorks and SketchUp, the major Artlantis partners in the CAD architecture world, export directly to the Artlantis format. This direct link provides more complete and better quality data recovery than by going through a classic exchange format.

Main Exchange File Formats
Artlantis imports the most commonly used 3D formats: DXF, DWG, DWF, OBJ, FBX or 3DS. It is worth noting that, for 3DS format files, Artlantis recovers certain data such as map textures and lights.
