Features (Detail)

Billboards
To enhance the realism of your rendered presentations and as a complement to the Art*lantis Shaders collection, Art*lantis 4.5 offers you more than 50 billboards (of people, vegetation, signs, etc) which you can drag and drop, as easily as inserting a shader.

Interactive Simulation
Whether the final presentation of the project is a still image, an animation or a virtual reality panorama, the interface of Art'lantis® ensure comfortable manipulation and permanent interactivity. Complete control is available at any moment, for all types of operations: inserting a project in its real environment, rendering parallel view or sections of the 3D scene, creating and editing animation sequences, manipulating camera parameter and behaviour, setting speed and timing, sun-light studies and exploring panoramic views, 'Integrating a photo as a 3D background for inserting a project in site, the possibility to enrich a scene with people or plants, applying 3D atmosphere effects, as well as generating parallel views in scale, are just a few examples among the multitude of possibilities offered by Art'lantis for attaining easily personalized renderings of astounding realism.

Mastering and Managing Real-Time
Art'lantis® has gained its worldwide reputation first for its revolutionary real-time previewing. Textures, billboards, surface patterns, integration of multiple light sources, global illumination, soft shadows, depth of field 'with Art'lantis®, every single element can be modified, interactively, at any moment and visualized instantaneously in the preview window. Fast, precise and flexible fine-tuning of any 3D scene results in images and animations of outstanding realism and atmosphere. Shaders and billboards are easily selectable through their preview and are applied by a simple drag & drop. The library of shaders and billboards is organized into families, which facilitates their installation, distribution and management. Personalized shaders libraries can easily be created, while the visual aspects of each of those shaders can be modified graphically. From the choice of colour to the adjustment of reflection, everything is controlled in real time, interactively, by a simple manipulation of the cursor.

Parallel Views
Photo realistic parallel views definitely represent the rendering mode which reconciles technique with esthetics. Create a neat and hyper-realistic presentation of your project, with rendered sections and elevations, printed to your desired scale. With its popular flexible and intuitive interface, Art'lantis 4.5 offers you the possibility to achieve photo-realistic rendering of models or site plan, interactively and by simply manipulating the camera in the Projected View window.

Site Insertion
For the site plan of your building permit documents, you don't need to turn to image processing solutions, which imply complex and fastidious methods for integrating your project in its existing environment. Art*lantis 4.5 offers you the possibility to integrate your model within the real site of your project, incredibly easily: inserting a background photo and a few manipulations of the mouse are sufficient for obtaining a satisfactory result.

The Age of Multimedia and Communication
Thanks to Art'lantis®, photorealistic rendering, animation and virtual reality are accessible to all, demanding professionals and occasional users alike. Experts of 3D imagery, Multimedia, Communication and Internet or CAD and Design professionals, as well as beginners, all herald the ease of use and ingenuity of Art'lantis®, The result is an interactive 3D presentation, VR object, VR panorama or 3D animation that enables the viewer to explore 3D designed objects, interior spaces and the exterior of architectural projects integrated into the real existing environment. Developed by Abvent, Art'lantis® never ceases to evolve and innovate, while maintaining both its technological leadership and accessibility to all.

The International Reference
Featured with an exceptionally simple and intuitive interface and powered by the most advanced technologies, Art'lantis®, with its cutting edge technology, is the rendering solution of reference, chosen and recommended worldwide by most of the major CAD editors. Communicating directly with the world 's leading CAD Software (ArchiCAD', VectorWorks', AutoCAD', form 'Z', ARC+', Amapi', ZOOM', ZOOM GDL''), Art'lantis® can import most of the standard file formats (DXF, DWG', 3D Studio', IGES, VRML, ElectricImage', RIB, etc ') and saves images and animations in the most common file formats: TIFF, PICT, TGA, BMP, AVI, EPIX (Piranesi), QuickTime Movie, QuickTime VR Panorama and VR object. Independent of the modeller used, on any Macintosh' or PC configuration, Art'lantis® offers outstanding efficiency and productivity in the creation of high-quality photo realistic presentations, while maintaining its reputation as the ultimate tool for communicating architectural and design projects.
