Equipped with an incredibly simple and intuitive interface and
powered by the most advanced technologies, Art•lantis has
become the choice rendering solution for many CAD editors
worldwide.
Regardless of the modeler, operating system or material used,
Art•lantis renders the most realistic images and movie clips.
Perfectly compatible with the leading CAD software (ArchiCAD™,
VectorWorks™, AutoCAD™, form•Z™, CadSoft™, ChiefArchitect™,
ARC+™, Amapi™, ZOOM™…), Art•lantis imports most
industry-standard file formats (DXF, DWG™, 3D Studio™, IGES,
VRML, Electric Image™, RIB…).
 Art•lantis
has earned its worldwide reputation mainly for its
revolutionary real-time previewing. In other words, any
modifications made to textures, surface patterns, multiple
light sources, global illumination, soft shadows, or depth of
field can be done interactively and seen in the Preview
window.
Fast, precise and flexible fine-tuning of any 3D scene results
in images and animations of incredible realism and atmosphere.
To facilitate the selection of textures, Art•lantis lets you
see them before applying them. Shaders are applied by a single
drag & drop, whether they are predefined "Art•lantis shaders"
or new textures created by users.
The library of shaders is organized by families, which
facilitates their installation, distribution and management.
Users can create their own library of shaders and update it
easily. Each modification of shaders is entirely graphic: from
choosing colors to adjusting reflections, users can control
everything interactively with simple clicks of the mouse.
 
Whether the final presentation of a project is a still image,
an animation or a virtual reality panorama, Art•lantis’
interface is always interactive and easy to use.
Users have total control over different functions such as
modifying camera paths and behaviors, speeding up or slowing
down camera traveling time in animations, linking animation
sequences and panoramas, conducting sun studies or
experimenting with panoramic views. And thanks to a multitude
of special effects like creating 3D background images and
atmospheres or adjusting depth of field, users can customize
their presentations.
Considered revolutionary for its intuitive and interactive
interface as well as for the high quality of images rendered
by its high-speed calculations, Art•lantis produces final
images, animations, VR panoramas and objects in most
industry-standard file formats including TIFF, PICT, TGA, BMP,
AVI, EPIX (Piranesi), and QuickTime VR, and manages alpha
channels as well.
 Winner
of numerous international awards and featured in many
magazines, Art•lantis has acquired a very diversified
clientele made up of graphic artists, multimedia designers, IT
experts, CAD users, photojournalists and even complete
beginners. And because they can interactively explore
buildings and plans, view objects from all angles, calculate
large images and create thumbnails for CD-ROMs or the
Internet, Art•lantis is the ideal tool for all 3D
professionals everywhere. Art•lantis makes photo-realistic
rendering, animation and virtual reality accessible to all.
And everyone agrees upon Art•lantis’ innovativeness and
user-friendliness, which never stop evolving - even with every
new version.
