Artlantis Studio
As a continuation of the Artlantis technologies, the Studio version
puts in action the exploration of any of your virtual worlds made in
Artlantis. Offering all the advanced functions for digital imagery that were
provided in Artlantis R, Artlantis Studio, with the adding of the animated
visualization of 3D objects and 3D scenes, manages to keep the same
obviousness of use and the same vocation of technological revolution which
are the trademarks of the Artlantis product family
Born of the concepts that made Artlantis Render a success (with over 65,000
users in 80 countries), the Artlantis Studio interface, like each of its
functions, meets the demands for computing speed, user friendliness and
high-resolution representation
Since it was created by Abvent fifteen years ago, Artlantis has gradually
evolved through contact with architects. The challenge was threefold: to
offer architects a software package capable of the best rendering possible,
computed in record time and all this with an interface that could be used by
anyone, professionals and non-professionals in the field of synthesis
imaging. Today, the new Artlantis family keeps up with and satisfies the new
demands for efficiency, productivity, quality and speed.

Real Time Preview
Like its predecessor, Artlantis Studio is designed based on the original
concept of constant preview window interactivity, with user defined
modifications and settings. The preview image is calculated each time a
change is made to the lighting, subject or environment settings, enabling
the user to control all adjustments without losing time. The extremely high
speed of its computing engines even provides access, in preview, to the
radiosity and raytracing effect settings.
Catalog
Media manipulation is easy and transparent to the user. By simply dragging
and dropping, the user can incorporate shader, Artlantis object or image
folders into catalogs where he can then choose the elements he places into
the scene. The same easy drag and drop procedure is used to apply the
selected image, texture or object to dress an object, place a background or
foreground image, add a furniture element or a person.
Dependent Viewpoint
Each view of the project can make up a particular study integrating various
representations ranging from the calendar date to a light source going out,
or a change in the camera angle.
Compliant with Operating Systems
Mac OS X users will be delighted because the Artlantis Studio interface is
perfectly compliant with Apple\'s Guidelines. And Windows users will
discover an Artlantis that meets the Microsoft platform standard.
Customized Tools
To reduce the learning curve even faster, Artlantis Studio lets you
configure your graphic windows interface instantly by using the operating
system\'s dedicated functions.
Connectivity
ArchiCAD, VectorWorks and SketchUp, the major Abvent partners in the CAD
Architecture world, export directly to Artlantis format. This direct link
provides more complete and better quality data recovery than by going
through a classic exchange format. Artlantis imports the most commonly used
3D formats -- DXF, DWG or 3DS. We should also point out that, for 3DS format
files, Artlantis recovers certain data such as map textures and lights.
Specialized Shaders
To complement the standard library, Abvent offers CD-ROMs with theme
collections designed specially for Artlantis by industry partners or
independent designers. These provide a multitude of materials and textures
that you can use for your synthesis images (for Macintosh and Windows).
Radiosity
Artlantis owes its major revolutionary change to its new radiosity
calculators that bring unprecedented realism to renderings. A simple sun and
lighted sky, and exterior as well as interior views are illuminated
instantly and without any other tedious settings.
