"Whooo-weee! Hard to believe that it’s already been a year but I am
proud to say that it’s time for the 2nd Annual Life of an Architect
Playhouse Competition!! Last years event was a spectacular success (many
thanks to those who participated) and I am hopeful that we can have
similar – and possibly greater involvement this year. At the end of last
years inaugural playhouse competition we were able to build two
playhouses. This year we know that we can do two, but we are shooting
for three!!
The new, improved Artlantis Forum is back online and ready for you! The Artlantis Forum is a great place to meet other users,
exchange ideas, and discuss a wide range of technical subjects about
Artlantis. Whether you’re a new user or a computer graphics
specialist, the Artlantis Forum is an excellent resource of how-to tips, tricks, and
technical information for your projects.
The products are the first in this range and include facade renders,
Leca® Blocks as wall composites, and detailed BIM objects. The ranges are
developed both to cover the needs for BIM users in visualization,
project work, 3D detailing, and even in advanced construction and
production models.
The Weber BIM objects are available for
various 3D visualization systems, as system families for Revit,
Composite wall structures in ArchiCAD, but also as individual parametric
objects and wall systems. The Leca® Blocks can used in a very advanced
way for construction analysis and quantity take offs.
Multi-language support will greatly enhance the experience for many
users and make it easier to access and use the BIM objects published on
the portal. This further supports the BIMobject mission, of being the
primary global BIM object content provider for the building industry, by
attracting more BIM users across the world.
The version released provides the BIM object catalogue in English,
French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and German. More languages will be
added during 2013.
All search, filter and integrated functions are available in the
different languages so users can use the portal in their native language
or the language required for the project. All the language features are
available immediately in the highly popular BIMobject APP for Autodesk
Revit and AutoCAD.
The integrated support for languages in the BIMobject portal also
benefits international component manufacturers with a much reduced
maintenance on making available country specific BIM objects. And where
manufacturers have their own private clouds to publish BIMobject
catalogues, they can also choose the most appropriate language.
PARIS, February 25, 2013 -- Artlantis and Vectorworks will team up at this year's Ecobuild (Stand N420) to present a series of BIM
and project presentations from relevant industry professionals for
architects, interior designers, and landscape designers. Company
representatives will be on hand to discuss one-on-one the latest product
features as well as specific projects.
Ecobuild
(March 5-7, 2013, London’s ExCeL) is the world’s largest event for
sustainable design, construction and the built environment, drawing over
57,000 industry decision-makers from 120 countries each year, including
the largest gathering of architects and specifiers in the UK.
For 25+ years, Nemetschek Vectorworks
has been a global leader in design technologies providing elegant
architectural software that offers Building Information Modelling (BIM);
landscape, urban and garden software that provides Site Information
Modelling (SIM) and lighting design capabilities in a flexible,
hybrid-design environment.
Artlantis
is the perfect software for Vectorworks users, allowing them to present
their projects with 3D photorealistic renderings. Artlantis enables you
to improve and bring realism to your Vectorworks models with 3D objects
and textures. Texture your models with high resolution shaders to
obtain a very realistic effect, then set your scene with as many light
sources as you want.
These
two programs will work for you in a complementary way, helping you to
complete even the most ambitious projects, and giving your presentations
the look you want.
With the bimobject.com product portal continuing to serve as the central
cloud solution, the possibility to build synchronized replicas of the
product cloud are now infinite. With the release of the new technology, BIMobject is moving its affiliate program to the new solution and now calling
it Private Clouds.
With the new BIMobject® Private Cloud
technology, there will be two solutions immediately available. This
will be in the form of web services that can be setup by an
administrator and later maintained by the building product manufacturer
or, for instance, a construction company.
This means that a
building product manufacturer present on the bimobject.com cloud can
publish and brand their own product catalog based on the BIMobject®
cloud technology with the same functionality of the main bimobject.com
cloud.
With BIMobject's new Private Cloud technology, this also means that a
web-based on-line product catalog will be very simple to maintain and keep in complete sync with the main bimobject.com cloud. Any changes
made on the bimobject.com cloud will also be made on all of the
private clouds. All functions -- BIMail, BIManalytics, and BIMobject® apps -- are also compatible with the Private Clouds.
Watch the video below to learn more about BIMobject Private Cloud technology!
Peruvian illustrators Quadro have shared a gorgeous animation of
Miramar, a high-density residential development, on the Artlantis.com
video gallery. Not only does this movie superbly showcase the project's
design, it also speaks volumes on the powerful rendering and animation
capabilities of Artlantis. It is an energetic and well-crafted
presentation that should serve as an inspiration to others on the fine
art of storytelling through editing and montage. Beautiful work!
Artlantis is a powerful, easy-to-use 3D rendering application developed especially for architects and designers, ideal for quickly and easily creating high resolution 3D renderings, iVisit 3D Panoramas, QuickTime VR Objects and animations.
