Improved 3D Grass

Density, height and color variations added as 3D grass features.

Portal Tool

Improves brightness in your indoor scenes, while removing noise from the image.

Site Insertion
Completely redesigned site insertion tool for easily inserting a 3D model in an existing photo.

3D Grass
Artlantis now has new shaders helping the generation of 3D grass, enhancing the realism of the scene.

Vegetation Tool
Artlantis offers a new tool allowing you to blanket defined zones with a selection of 3D vegetation.

Media Catalog
Large choice of additional tree varieties, as well as characters and vehicles

Exposure
As default setting, automatic exposure allows you to calculate the appropriate image exposure according to the light spread into the scene.

Brand New Render Engine
Artlantis 7 is equipped with a brand-new engine, improving rendering quality, speed and realism. In addition, less -but more relevant- calculations significantly reduce rendering time.

Connection with Twinlinker
Twinlinker is a brand new online platform allowing the user to upload and share images, panoramas and videos directly from Artlantis 7 and Twinmotion 2018.

Artificial Lighting
The artificial light sampling method, which is more precise, improves the energy diffusion of the light sources in the 3D scene and reinforces the reflection of the satin materials with a brighter gloss.

Adaptive Anti-aliasing
Smarter anti-aliasing makes it possible to detect the areas to be treated, optimizing calculation and reducing rendering times as a result, with no alteration of the quality of the image.

Render Manager
The new Render Manager optimizes the rendering calculation time, because it shares rendering tasks among the available computers in your local network.

Preview in Draft Modus
For even greater productivity, Artlantis 6.5 offers a choice between display speed and accuracy in the preview window with its new “draft” mode.

Physical Sky
New, realistic clouds are now integrated in the physical sky and 'God Rays' are now visible behind glass surfaces.

SketchUp Pro 2017 Support
Artlantis 6.5 can now open files saved from SketchUp 2017.

Twinmotion Support
Users can now export their Artlantis projects directly to 3D immersion and visualisation tool Twinmotion.

Brand New Render Engine
To create stunning images, Artlantis 6 now includes a brand new built-in physical engine, emphasizing physical rendering quality, precision, material accuracy and energy consumption.

• Pre-Settings
  Ability to choose between different pre-set modes (indoor, outdoor, etc.) and diferent definitions (speed, medium, quality) to quickly set up for the best results!
• White Model
  White model rendering changes all surfaces into white except for those that are tranparent.
• White Balance
  Adjust the dominant color of a scene to the ambient lighting.
• Ambient Occlusion
  Display a global ambient occlusion to create virtual shadows in small areas where natural light doesn’t go. It brings more depth and relief to both interior and exterior scenes

Lights & Neon

• IES Profiles
  Artlantis 6 offers 8 IES pre-set profiles and the ability to import downloaded IES profiles from the manufacturers' websites. IES files are used to simulate realistic illumination in projects. The lights can still be edited in brightness, color, direction and opening angle.
• Improved Neon
  Neon lighting has been completely updated with considerable gains in terms of quality and calculation speed.

Site Insertion
Site insertion has been renewed and made easier to use. A new feature is the integrated alpha mask editor, to add transparency to a foreground image directly in Artlantis to enhance the quality of the site insertion.

Laser Projection
Objects can easily be aligned by the laser projection function. By clicking on the reference plane, you can define the exact position and orientation of a laser beam.

Catalog & Media

• Easier access to the Artlantis Media Store;
• Customize the calatog by adding custom folders from Level II of the catalog;
• New display features for viewing the latest media used, shaders and objects in the scene, or those added to the selection;
• Drop media from a selection randomly into a scene by repeating clicks.

And more...

• Preview interactively navigates in block display or surface display, with or without automatic switches in OpenGL. OpenGL is displayed in color, hidden line, wireframe or a combination.
• Search fields to search for a specific name, in all inspectors.
• The display filter can be used to find a material of an object quickly.
• The new KeyServer App can automatically start on Mac and run on Windows as a service.

• Artlantis 6 features automatic back-up.
• A new vignette effect is available in post-processing.

Brand New Interface
Artlantis' interface has been redesigned and is based on a clear window, ordered horizontally. The following improvements have been made:

• A larger preview of your scene, where you can do more an have less need for 2D view;
• Work faster with everything you need in one screen: the inspectors at the top, the lists on the left and the catalog at the bottom.

Perspectives / Cameras
Artlantis 5 offers the user the following new features to perspectives:

• Each point of view can have its own infinite ground, background and foreground;
• New Architect Camera: for high vertical projects you can use two vanishing points so you can obtain real verticals;
• Better handling, re-sizing and adjusting of background and foregrounds;
• Better visibility of your project in the 2D View thanks to a sectional cut of the camera and the display of textures.

Media: Shaders & Objects
Using the new media catalog is fast and efficient due to the following changes:

• An InApp Media Store offering more than 5,000 objects and shaders;
• New Shaders with support for relief mapping (adding depth), non-repitive tiling (e.g. mosaic) and multi-texture shading (creating a natural effect on water, grass or ground);
• The organization into categories (icons) and subcategories (titles) lets you choose the right media in a few clicks;
• Media Converter for converting your own libraries and previously purchased Media CDs.

Preview Controller
Handling textures, shaders and objects in the preview is very easy now. You hardly need the 2D view anymore:

• A preview controller for moving, resizing and rotating shaders and textures;
• Rotate, move, duplicate, resize, scale and snap objects with the preview controllers.

Lighting
Artlantis 5 offers you the following improvements to lighting;

• Volumetric Lighting lets you add a cone of light to your scene so you can simulate real spotlights;
• Also the Heliodon can have a volumetric effect: 'God Rays' can be added in post-process to simulate sun beams;
• Position the direction and fall-off of a single light or a selection of lights quickly and easily with the new 'vertical guides';
• The manual heliodon can be set easier by adjusting the angles for zenith and azimuth right in the Inspector.
