Artlantis 4
Artlantis is the fastest stand-alone 3D rendering application developed especially for architects and designers, ideal for quickly and easily creating high resolution 3D renderings, iVisit 3D Panoramas, QuickTime VR Objects and animations. A recognized leader in preview window technology, Artlantis is the rendering software used by architects, designers and urban design professionals in more than 80 countries.
Available in two main versions, Artlantis offers a product line suited to different needs and practices. Artlantis Render is developed for design professionals (architects, interior designers, urban planners, landscapers, exhibition organizers, exhibitors, etc.) who need to create very high quality still renderings. Artlantis Studio, on the other hand, not only creates exceptional, high-resolution still images, but also offers an enhanced suite of tools to generate dynamic renderings, such as iVisit 3D panoramas, VR objects, and animations, that provide interactivity with and motion through the project.
Like previous versions, Artlantis 4 is designed based on the original concept of the interactive preview window, with user-defined settings that provide immediate visual feedback on changes made to the project. The new and improved rendering engine allows users to generate radiosity images in real-time directly within the 3D preview window, providing an accurate representation of the final rendering in real-time, while saving the end user valuable time as changes are made to the project.
Whats new in v4.0
Performance Improvements
In addition to these quality improvements, Artlantis 4 is faster than ever. The average is TWO times faster, and SEVEN times faster if the project uses many Neon Shaders. In order to better handle large projects, Artlantis is now optimized for 64-bits on Macintosh and Windows.
The new Horizontal projection function simplifies
working with complex roofing. The Batch rendering work can be reorganized and filtered before launching. In 2D view, the duplicated objects are positioned with gravity on the project. A new Explode by Mesh function separates automatically the different meshes to simplify the material assignment. A multiple selection of objects can now be set at the same time.
iVisit 3D Panoramas (Artlantis Studio only)
Create a true, virtual tour inside your project with
multi-node panoramas. Everything needed for viewing panoramas on your Website is automatically created by Artlantis Studio 4. The player is free of charge and based on Flash™ technology and is compatible with Macintosh, Windows, Linux and even Androïd operating system. For iPhone and iPad users, a specific application allows you to view and share these panoramas. iVisit 3D App is available in two versions (Lite and Pro) from the App Store. iVisit 3D Lite is
free, but is limited to one viewing per day. For more
information, go to www.ivisit3d.com
Themed collections of materials, parametric textures, and 3D objects available on CDs and online round out the innovative Artlantis family product line. Designed especially for Artlantis by industry partners and independent designers, Artlantis Media enable users to quickly and easily simulate life-like scenes in a realistic environment.

Quality Improvements
Like in photography, the respect of color is essential in rendering. The new radiosity engine improves images for a better perception of colors, textures, and materials. Tone correction is a new post-process tool that allows you to lighten dark images and vice versa. A new Fresnel Shader has been added to the library. It is particularly suitable for metallic car bodies. Transparent surfaces are now better-managed in this new engine.
