We are excited to announce the release of Artlantis 4.1. This latest update takes visualization to new heights by combining the speed and ease-of-use of Artlantis with the power and accuracy of Maxwell Render. Artlantis 4.1 is a free update for all Artlantis 4 users and includes a 30-day demo version of the Maxwell Render engine. An unlocking code for the Maxwell Render engine can be purchased separately on Objects Online.
There has been a lot of buzz about the Maxwell Render engine, and we'll be covering that in depth in a future article, but today we're going to focus on one of the other key new features: the new Physical Camera setting. Automatic lighting adjustment has been available since Artlantis 3, but with Artlantis 4.1, an additional Lighting option called Physical Camera is available in the Expert Rendering Parameters (will only be visible if Expert Rendering Parameters are enabled in the general Artlantis preferences). When Physical Camera is checked, the First Bounce/Next Bounces sliders are replaced with ISO/Shutter Speed sliders.
In photography, ISO refers to how sensitive the film (or a digital camera's sensor) is to light in the scene, while shutter speed refers to the length of time the camera's aperture stays open when taking a picture. As with a real camera, increasing ISO increases light sensitivity (brightening the scene), while increasing shutter speed decreases exposure time (darkening the scene). These two controls work in combination to balance the exposure, enabling you to think like a photographer when composing the scene. When used with the Artlantis Tone and Post-Process parameters, your renderings can take on a warm, rich photographic quality.
