The 3D model is displayed in real-time using high quality radiosity lighting effects, maintaining an appearance consistent with the final rendering.” “Artlantis is unique among rendering software packages in the way it integrates radiosity into a live 3D preview. “We kept everything that Artlantis is famous for its ease of use, intuitive interface and, above all, its powerful controls˜and we introduced new technologies that work for the user,” stated Frederic Blanc, Artlantis graphic and design product manager at ABVENT. The key new features enhance Artlantis’ lighting, photo-realism, rendering quality, user-friendly interface, and creative possibilities. It completes the artificial lights delivered with Artlantis and contributes to more realistic lighting.The ABVENT Group today announced the release of the latest version of Artlantis Render and Studio, rendering software dedicated to architects, designers and most 3D CAD users.

Neon shader: unlike spotlights, this is an emissive material to be applied on surfaces you can set its power and color.

HDRI background: turn on the HDRI image light to simulate the light emitted in the corresponding weather conditions to make your renderings more realistic.

You can define as many ambiances and natural atmospheres as you require.

Heliodons: these natural light sources can be customized depending on the time of year, day, hour and location (longitude and latitude).

You also can import your own profiles as well as those from the manufacturers’ catalogs.

8 native IES profiles, each of them comes with custom light intensity and radiosity.

Artificial lights with limitless positioning, orientation, color, intensity, or quantity.

You can define as many Heliodons as you want to intervene on a particular object, image, or scene and act on the light rays and general atmosphere.

Soft shadows and blurs are easy to set with an interactive cursor. Artlantis has different light source types (spot, bulb, directional light, heliodon, sky) and effects (atmosphere, turbulence, diffraction, halo, depth of field) and manages transparent materials such as the impact of light on curtains.
