Abvent launches Animated Working People DVD

The Abvent Group, editor and publisher of Artlantis software, announced today the release of its newest Media DVD, Animated People Workers 1 for Artlantis 2 and Artlantis 3. The CD includes ten 3D human models in work clothing, with 5 pre-calculated behaviors each.

Objects are optimized to 3000 faces per character. These new 3D people can be used in still images as well as in animations. They can be made to sit, stand, lean against a wall, or move. In the animation mode, once a path is determined, the 3D character will automatically move along this path. In a still image, a pointer within the inspector allows the user to choose the most appropriate placement in the current view. In addition, the clothing color of the 3D people can be modified.

A simple drag & drop is enough to place these objects in Artlantis. These objects are created from the aXYZ Design Collection. This latest addition brings the total number of Artlantis Media CDs available to 33.

The suggested retail price of Animated People Workers 1 is €149. In the US, the suggested retail price is $240/mail order; $230/download. The CD is available through the Artlantis International Distributor network.

Abvent launches Artlantis 3

ARTLANTIS 3 IS HERE!

The Abvent Group, editor and publisher of Artlantis, announced today the launch of Artlantis Render 3 and Artlantis Studio 3. Already recognized as the fastest, most powerful solution for photo-realistic 3D rendering and animation, Artlantis is strengthening its lead with an even faster, more accurate radiosity engine.

Developed especially for architecture, no other rendering application on the market matches Artlantis 3's radiosity engine in rendering speed and precision. Other important new features include new management of geometry by layers, better management and enrichment of media, and simplified control of optimized lighting. Known for its innovative approach to animated scenes, Artlantis Studio 3 now allow users to animate clouds and water.

Along with the release of Artlantis 3, four new Media DVDs have also been released featuring Mediterranean plant billboards, bringing to 31 the number of optional media DVDs currently available to Artlantis users.

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.
