Abvent Artlantis Studio 3.0.2.1
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.
The method of radiation (Radiosity)
Displaying 3D models taking into *** the reflection of light from surfaces! The updated rendering engine allows you to receive high quality mapping project, taking into *** the reflection of light off the walls, floors, ceilings and other objects of the building. And thanks to the fact that the image pre window recreated in real time, you will get better and expected after the final photographic image rendering 3D models.
Simulation of the sky
The new version of Artlantis substantially reworked all sources of illumination project. With the introduction of new types of sources ( physical sky, sun, moon and stars), all visible elements shed light on other objects of the project through the function of global illumination (global illumination). In addition, different types of clouds (cirrus, cumulonimbus and stratus), without a doubt only add realism heavens, and thus your project.
Automatically adjusts lighting
Thanks to new technology automatically adjust the lighting, Artlantis dynamically adjusts the level of illumination of the scene: from the pre dawn haze the sun to the dim light of the evening sky, depending on external or internal visualization. And this in turn results in improving the quality of images and animations.
Integrated post processing of images
Need more processing of the received picture does not make sense to use additional software all you need is in Artlantis. In the new version of the program several new features for handling raster images adjust brightness, contrast and color table the final image. And adding the image graininess, contour lines or a pastel shading surfaces, you can achieve fantastic results for styling images. All changes are instantly displayed in the preview window, and the effects can be used either one or a group.
Preparation sheydersov (Shader)
The new version of Artlantis, new tools for the automatic creation of textures. Now sheydersy receive new properties: specular reflection, shine, the effect of blurring, configuring the overlay raster … all to improve the quality of textures. This function is intended, above all, experienced users of the program now they can customize the library sheydersov through the program interface.
Rich set of textures and objects
An additional collection of textures and objects, consisting of 25 CD, Artlantis users can quickly begin to work and set a realistic environment, imitated in the virtual world scene from real life. With a new version of Artlantis face additional 5 CD with families for Artlantis: animated 3D models of people, billboards, people, machines, stone and marble floors. New sheydersy and facilities will add realism to your scenes, and control elements is very easy with the help of technology dra.
Artlantis is recognized as the fastest, most powerful solution for photo realistic 3D rendering and animation. Now, Artlantis 3 is strengthening its lead with an even more accurate radiosity engine, new management of geometry by layers, better management and enrichment of media, and simplified control of optimized lighting.
Editable Anchor Points
The anchor point allows you to place and rotate an object or component in the 3D scene. Grab this point in the 2D view by pressing the D key, and simply drag it to the desired location.
Media Search Function
When opening a file, Artlantis 3 allows you to search for and replace any missing media components on your hard drive, as well as delete them.
Media
The richness of the online Artlantis gallery eloquently demonstrates that media play a key role in projects and … in Artlantis 3 with new developments, new shaders …
Transparency of Billboards and Plants
Accessible directly in Artlantis, the new transparency slider allows you to set the transparency of billboards and 3D plants in order to better view the project. There s no longer any need for photo editing!
Detachable Components
Detach elements of the 3D model and keep them as internal components in your 3D scene using the polygon selection tool. This component is easy to handle as an external object (aof) while remaining fully integrated in the scene.
Layers
The continuous development of media (currently several thousand) has focused our interest on their management, and on the handling of geometry in 3D scenes.
Layer Management
Artlantis 3 has a new structure of layers: scene, objects, 3D plants, lamps, animated objects and billboards. You can also add or remove your own layers.
Automatic Placement
The default layer function allows you to determine the destination layer for each type of media. Once you add new billboards or objects to your projects, you can have this placement done either automatically or manually.
Layer Import
ArchiCAD users will appreciate this new feature, which, thanks to the ArchiCAD export plug in, allows you to select the layers you want to export to Artlantis.
Visibility by View
For greater ease of use and increased productivity, especially on large projects, hide the layers that might burden your work in preview (for example, 3D plants). What s more, this new function also allows you to present your various layout options from the same document.
Fall off Presets
Artlantis 3 offers 9 different types of lighting accessible by a drop down menu (Lights inspector). Based on an adaptation of photometric data of light sources, these lighting options can be completely customized: change the intensity, the color, the angle, the softness of shadows …
Neon Shader
The Neon shader has also been greatly improved both in terms of quality and rendering speed.
Radiosity
This brand new rendering engine, developed especially for architecture, is faster and more accurate than ever before. No other product on the market matches Artlantis 3 s radiosity engine in rendering speed and precision.
Exceptional Quality
In general, the quality of the renderings has been greatly improved. Abvent s R & D team has paid special attention to the likeness between the preview and the final rendering.
Complete Settings
Pre defined settings for both interior and exterior scenes make life easier for beginners, while more advanced users will appreciate the Expert interface, which allows them to personalize the radiosity settings.
Clouds
In an ongoing quest for realism, Artlantis Studio invites you to animate clouds by activating the wind s parameters, the direction and speed of which you can choose in the heliodon inspector.
Water
A plain cursor is all you need to add movement to the Water shader, adding life to your 3D scenes with animated rivers, lakes, pools, seas …
Communication
In addition to its many import plug ins, which are now compatible with the Autodesk 2010 product line, Artlantis 3 now benefits from a new technology for export plug ins. This new feature, which is available in the OBJ, FBX, U3D, DWF, and SKP formats, integrates Artlantis into the complete design process.
