What?s new in v4.0:

Quality Improvements
Like in photography, the respect of color is essential in rendering. The new radiosity engine improves images for a better perception of colors, textures, and materials. Tone correction is a new post-process tool that allows you to lighten dark images and vice versa. A new Fresnel Shader has been added to the library. It is particularly suitable for metallic car bodies. Transparent surfaces are now better-managed in this new engine.

Performance Improvements
In addition to these quality improvements, Artlantis 4 is faster than ever. The average is TWO times faster, and SEVEN times faster if the project uses many Neon Shaders. In order to better handle large projects, Artlantis is now optimized for 64-bits on Macintosh and Windows.

Productivity Improvements
The new Horizontal projection function simplifies working with complex roofing. The Batch rendering work can be reorganized and filtered before launching. In 2D view, the duplicated objects are positioned with gravity on the project. A new Explode by Mesh function separates automatically the different meshes to simplify the material assignment. A multiple selection of objects can now be set at the same time.

iVisit 3D Panoramas (Artlantis Studio only)
Create a true, virtual tour inside your project with multi-node panoramas. Everything needed for viewing panoramas on your Website is automatically created by Artlantis Studio 4.
