Lone Wolf



You may recall reading about Sean DiVincenzo, Founder of Lone Wolf Drafting and Design, and his professional success with Artlantis, on our site.

We are pleased and proud that two of Sean's designs are featured in Dwight Atkinson's latest book, 'The Artlantis Attitude.' The first of the two images belongs to the project Art Gallery -- a conceptual/promotional rendering, while the second image is taken from the Serenity/Battelstar Galactica Hybrid Series.

You can see more of Sean's outstanding work by visiting his website, Lone Wolf Design.

Dave Chisholm, 2008 Architects Jury Winner


Dave Chisholm graduated with Honors from the architecture school at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He currently owns and operates a graphic & web design company, Crescendo Multimedia.

Dave’s first ‘real’ project, a luxury sea view residence, is currently under construction in Wellington, and several others are still in the design phase, including a waterfront residence in Sydney.

By his own admission, Artlantis has played an invaluable role in nearly every project he’s designed in the last 5 years, especially his winning entry in the 2008 Architects Jury competition. Congratulations, Dave, and keep up the good work!

Rendering and Animation Using Artlantis - Creating Animated Objects in Artlantis Studio

Hosted by ARCHVISTA

Date:
July 13, 2009 | 11:00AM - 1:00 PM | Pacific Time

Presenter(s):
Jeff Olken

Description:
LearnVirtual™ is an online training program that allows you to learn right from your desk!

Beginning in June, LearnVirtual will offer a four-part series of classes that focus on rendering and animation using Artlantis.

The first advanced rendering tool that ArchiCAD users turned to when they wanted to quickly and easily create photo-realistic renderings and animations was Artlantis. The latest versions of Artlantis integrate easily into an ArchiCAD workflow. In this series, we’ll explore how to move an ArchiCAD model into Artlantis, and to control the materials, entourage, and environment within this powerful presentation tool.

This class (IV of IV) is focused on creating animated objects in Artlantis Studio.
