A message from Artlantisobjects.com:

 

"For years we carried the name Artlantisobjects.com. The site became a success and with it grew the need for more info products and services. We started offering other materials and after a few years the name Artlantisobjects.com didn't fit all our activities anymore.

A new name was necessary. To serve everybody well we also needed a new website. It took a while but now we can present to you all:

ARTLANTISMEDIA.COM
 

If you were a member of Artlantisobjects.com, you can use the same username and password to log in to Artlantismedia.com

With the new website we also started a new Facebook page for Artlantismedia.com.
Facebook does not allow to change names of a Facebook page.

We like to ask you to visit and like the new Facebook page. As soon as we have enough likes we can merge the Facebook pages of Artlantisobjects.com and Artlantismedia.com."

The 'Ground Floor' Opportunity from Objects Online

As the new year is ushered in, discussions inevitably shift toward new beginnings. Have you ever been offered the chance at a new beginning with a "ground floor" opportunity? Maybe someone approached you to become a part of something that holds the possibility for great things to come, opportunities for advancement, and huge potential rewards? Often, those dreamy promises are dangling at the end of a stick that is tantalizingly close, yet frustratingly out of reach. We're offering a "ground floor" opportunity of a different sort...one with immediate benefits and no strings attached! We're talking, of course, about the "Ground Floor" Opportunity Sale featuring two essential shaders volumes from the Artlantis Media Collection: Dosch Design's Ground Pro and Floor Pro.

The Ground Pro volume features 126 detailed shaders, 30 billboards and 35 textures of ground styles and materials, such as street surfaces, grass, dirt, and industrial surfaces, which can be applied to surfaces in your Artlantis scene with a flick of the wrist...just drag-and-drop. These high resolution textures will greatly enhance your architectural and landscape renderings. Floor Pro contains 80 detailed floor shaders for professional visualization of large floor areas including wood, parquet, laminate, marble and granite floors, natural stone, cobblestone, weathered and aged floor materials, and brick (can also be used on vertical surfaces, such as large brick wall areas).

Start the new year off right by adding one or both of these workhorse shader volumes to your Artlantis media collection. This may not be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will make you fabulously wealthy, but it is definitely one sale that you won't want to miss!

Offer expires February 14, 2013.

[News] Object Observer - Artlantis 4 and media sale

http://myemail.constantcontact.com/-News--Object-Observer---Artlantis-v4-and-media-sale--Vectorworks-2012-plug-in.html?soid=1104770032648&aid=1cjPxCNWwBU

Abvent announces Artlantis 4, featuring iVisit 3D!

PARIS, October 17, 2011 -- Abvent has announced the launch of Artlantis 4, the latest version of the fastest, stand-alone 3D rendering application developed especially for architects and designers. Artlantis combines the most advanced and efficient tools for rendering photo-realistic 3D projects. Artlantis interfaces directly with many leading architectural CAD and BIM software titles, such as ArchiCAD™, Revit™, SketchUp™ Pro, Vectorworks™, and Arc+™. Native support for many popular file formats, such as DXF, DWG, 3DS, DWF, OBJ, and FBX, allows Artlantis to seamlessly interact with nearly all leading 3D CAD and BIM software on the market today.

Available in two main versions, Artlantis offers a product line suited to different needs and practices. Artlantis Render is developed for design professionals (architects, interior designers, urban planners, landscapers, exhibition organizers, exhibitors, etc.) who need to create very high quality still renderings. Artlantis Studio, on the other hand, not only creates exceptional high-resolution still images, but also offers an enhanced suite of tools to generate dynamic renderings, such as iVisit 3D panoramas, VR objects, and animations, that provide interactivity with and motion through the project.

Like previous versions, Artlantis 4 is designed based on the original concept of the interactive preview window, with user-defined settings that provide immediate visual feedback on changes made to the project. The new and improved rendering engine allows users to generate radiosity images in real-time directly within the 3D preview window, providing an accurate representation of the final rendering on-the-fly while saving the end user valuable time as changes are made to the project.

New features in Artlantis 4

Quality Improvements
As in photography, color is an essential consideration in rendering. The new radiosity engine improves images for better perception of colors, textures, and materials. Tone correction is a new post-process tool that allows users to lighten dark images or vice versa. A new Fresnel shader has been added to the library, which is particularly suitable for metallic car bodies. Transparent surfaces and a variety of other edits are now managed more easily in this new version, thanks to an improved method for selecting and handling multiple objects. Click here for video.

Performance improvements
Artlantis 4 is faster than ever. The average rendering time is two times faster, and up to seven times faster if the project uses several Neon shaders. In order to better handle large projects, Artlantis is now optimized for 64-bit Macintosh and Windows environments. Click here for video.

Productivity Improvements
A new Horizontal material projection method simplifies working with complex roof surfaces, automatically orienting the direction all roof textures to line up with all soffit edges in one simple step. Batch rendering work can now be reorganized and filtered before the renderings are generated. In the 2D view, a series of duplicated objects can be automatically positioned on the underlying ground surface using gravity. Click here for video.

iVisit 3D Panoramas (Artlantis Studio only)
Create a realistic virtual tour inside your project with multi-node panoramas. Artlantis 4 automatically creates everything needed to view the panoramas. Based on Flash™ technology, the player is free of charge and viewable within most popular web browsers. A special tool also allows users to view and share these panoramas on an iPad or iPhone. iVisit 3D is available in two versions (Lite and Pro) from Apple’s App Store. iVisit 3D Lite is free, but is limited to one viewing per day. Click here for video.

New Artlantis Media CDs
Along with the release of Artlantis 4, five new Media volumes are also being released exclusively for Artlantis 4, featuring 3D Transport 2010, 3D Cars 2010 (Europe), 3D Cars 2010 (Asia), 3D Cars 2009, and 3D Cars 2008. This brings the total number of optional Artlantis media volumes to 39. Artlantis Media volumes contain themed collections of 3D objects or shaders and parametric textures, available for download or on disc.

Artlantis 4 is available for purchase through Abvent's network of international distributors.

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.

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.
