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.
Shader creator
The 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
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.
