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 to 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. 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.

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).

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 preview window update; looped animation, and use of movies as textures.
