Welcome to the new version of Artlantis, the rendering software that make architects and designers’ dreams come
true. You’ll find below a preview of its new features.
- Real time radiosity
Thanks to its new and original rendering engine, Artlantis is the first and the only application able to calculate radiosity con-
sistently and in real time within the preview window. -the final rendering is really similar to the preview window -the Open
GL mode has been considerably enhanced, faster and more accurate.
- A very natural Heliodon
The new version of Artlantis improves all the lightings, with the addition of :
-a “physical sky” endowed with the sun, the moon and the stars that enlighten the project in global illumination
-the automatic balance between natural and artificial lighting
-the manual positioning for the sun, or automatic Sun Positioning at 45° for parallel view rendering
-a new clouds editor for even more realism : cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus... ; fog and pollution are also on display.
Artlantis heliodon still allows to enlight the scene according to season time, date and geographic location.
- New post-process adjustments
New options enable to modify the luminance, the contrast, and the color index of a rendered image during the post-pro-
