Artlantis 5 - My First Thoughts

Artlantis power user Evan Troxel has taken the time to give Artlantis 5 a spin; he's put his thoughts into words, and shared his first impressions with us.  Here's a sneak peek at what Evan found most impressive:
  • "The interface is really nice. It makes total sense especially as more and more people are using laptops where screen real estate is of utmost importance. It allows you to put things away that you're not using but you still have easy access to. I also love how easy it is to populate the scene with additional items like trees, furniture and people with the Catalog feature. It's not a new feature but it's laid out in a much better way now with categories. Being able to find what you're looking for is really nice."
  • "Batch rendering is also a breeze with this app. Just cue up a bunch of views and tell it to render later. Then when you're ready, launch the Artlantis Batch app and you can run it overnight, cranking out image after image until they're all done. This is a huge feature not to be underestimated. For most of us in small offices or doing solo work who only have a single computer, this can make it so work is getting done while you sleep."

New aquatic center -- rendered in Artlantis

NEW AQUATIC CENTER WILL SERVE AS A SPRINGBOARD FOR FUTURE, WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES

Paris, May 3, 2011 – The design for a new, competition aquatic center is the cornerstone of a larger athletic and field improvement project at Riverside Polytechnic High School in Riverside, California. It sits near a main entrance to the campus where several world-class athletes have launched their athletic careers. The building will start construction in the summer of 2011.

Conceptually, the design of the center is based upon the movement of competitive swimmers and their proving grounds – the lanes of the pool. High, floating roofs cover the main program of the complex. Each roof form was generated by deriving a simplified diagram from the front and side views of the butterfly stroke, which led to the main butterfly roof over the entry and undulating canopy over the bleachers.

Designed by Evan Troxel using a combination of tools including SketchUp and Bonzai3D for the building, and Revit for the site landscaping and hardscaping, the model was rendered in Artlantis. “I use a variety of tools depending on what I need at the time, and all of these modeling applications work with Artlantis,” Troxel said. “I love how I only have to learn one rendering program that all of my other tools can talk to,” he continued.

The aquatic center includes a 50m pool, locker rooms, shower and dressing room area with a concession stand and ticket booth building, and a mechanical pump building for a state-of-the-art microturbine water heating system. There are also outdoor showers, an expansive pool deck for tournament booths and spectators, storage, and a swimming coaches office. All of this is surrounded by a custom-formed, poured-in-place concrete panel wall enclosure primarily for security, and will also be utilized for graphics and signage. Given that the aquatic center will become the new ‘front door’ to the campus, it will certainly make a strong first impression and a statement to the surrounding community.
