Save up to 75% on artlantismembers.com subscriptions

Artlantis Members is a web store offering thousands of high-quality Artlantis objects and shaders for sale or for free with a subscription membership. When artlantismembers.com went online 3 years ago, they started out with only 500 objects. At that time, the cost of a subscription was the same as it is today: $80 for a 6-month subscription and $160 for a 12-month subscription, which is a very good deal for access to a collection that size. Today, the collection has grown to over 4,800 objects and will soon surpass 5,000 objects, which at today's prices is an incredible value! To keep up with that growth and the increasing demands on their servers, they have decided to increase their membership subscription prices on July 15, 2013.

You may be aware that subscribers are able to download up to 15 items per day for free from their Artlantis media section. If you are a subscriber, this gives you access to all of that content, but helps manage the bandwidth usage on the site. What you may not be aware of are some of the great things going on behind the scenes. The Artlantis Members team have been hard at work creating localized versions of their store for different markets, including Japan, Europe, and the U.S. This is a massive undertaking and requires ongoing maintenance, but the end result is a better shopping experience for customers in those regional markets. They also continue to recruit new talented developers to the team, which means that you will see more new products added at an even faster pace.

Here is a breakdown of today's prices and the new pricing that will take effect on July 15, 2013:

6-month subscription:
Currently $80, will adjust to $140 (77¢ per day)
12-month subscription:
Currently $160, will adjust to $250 (68¢ per day)

So for less than the cost of a pack of gum, you can have access to 15 beautifully crafted and carefully optimized objects and shaders for Artlantis each and every day. That's less than 5¢ per object! We wanted to make sure to mention that while this offer is open to new customers, we are also able to extend the subscriptions of existing members, as well, at today's lower prices. We hope you'll take this opportunity to add or renew an artlantismembers.com subscription today.

Live, online seminar: Architectural visualization featuring ArchiCAD and Artlantis

GRAPHISOFT's next live, online seminar will take place on April 30, and will focus on architectural visualization. We will feature Artlantis, the fastest stand-alone 3D rendering application developed especially for architects and designers. Artlantis is ideal for quickly and easily creating high resolution 3D renderings, iVisit 3D Panoramas, QuickTime VR Objects, and animations. A recognized leader in preview window technology, Artlantis is the rendering software used by architects, designers and urban design professionals in more than 80 countries, including thousands of ArchiCAD users.

The graphic presentation of a design has always been a key factor in the success of a project. Architectural visualization allows us not only to place the project in its future environment and highlight the beauty of the design, but also to bring the concept to life through photo-realistic objects, colors, lighting, and textures.

We will be joined by Xavier Vanabelle of Asymetrie, a graphic design studio located in Beaumont, Belgium. Xavier will present an exciting new project modeled in ArchiCAD and rendered in Artlantis. With over ten years experience in architectural visualization, the team at Asymetrie has collaborated on a variety of projects, including the design of urban areas, private homes, museums, and schools.

Join us on April 30 to learn how to export an ArchiCAD model to Artlantis to create jaw-dropping, photo-realistic renderings and animations!

Artlantis Batch Render

Artlantis Batch Render is a separate application (installed alongside Artlantis in the Artlantis program folder) that is used to render one or more images/animations placed in a rendering queue. Batch Render is a useful production tool, especially when rendering a series of images overnight or over the weekend. Watch this video to learn more about how to use Batch Render to manage your rendering queue.
