Objects Online Closes Its Doors

It has been a long, wonderful journey, but as they say, all good things must come to an end. Objects Online is closing its virtual doors and is now redirecting to artlantis.com. With the introduction of Abvent's online store and the Artlantis media store, Abvent will now be handling the distribution of Artlantis in the U.S. and Canada. Abvent will continue working with its existing reseller network to bring you localized sales and support.

For our ArchiSuite and Artlantis Members customers, please contact those developers directly for future sales and support. Cigraph (ArchiSuite) is online at www.cigraph.it and Artlantis Members is online at www.artlantismembers.com. For those of you in need of ArchiCAD objects, which is where it all began for us, don't forget to check out our good friends at BIMobject and BIM Components for high quality, FREE ArchiCAD content.

As the manager of Objects Online for the past nine years, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and best wishes to all of our wonderful customers whom we have had the pleasure of serving over the years. Thank you so much! I hope to chat with many of you again in the future as I take on the role of support specialist with Abvent.

Artlantis 5 Sneak Peek: New User Interface

'N' stands for New, as in New user interface, brought to you by Artlantis 5!

The Artlantis 5 Revolution is almost here, and we saved the best for last. The new user interface can now be viewed in one window and in full screen on both Mac and PC platforms. Keep an eye on your project while having all your tools at your fingertips!

Real-time radiosity preview
Artlantis's productivity is based on a fundamental concept: real-time preview. Regardless of the change in the scene settings (materials, lighting, environment), the preview is updated instantly. You control your work, you confirm your changes, and you run the calculation in high definition for your final image without wasting time.

Viewpoints
The freedom offered by Artlantis 5 comes from the multitude of viewpoints that you can create, save, and organize. Each viewpoint allows you to create a real study of your scene: date, a light source change, a camera lens change, adding a background -- edit and save the combinations of parameters in your list of viewpoints that are important to you.

In order to optimize the display of your project while keeping an eye on your list views, they appear on the left-hand side of the screen in a fixed position with a refocusing of the preview on the left, or on the fly so that the preview is not moved!

Inspectors
Now grouped at the top of the screen, inspectors allow you to edit all the parameters associated with shaders, objects, lights, heliodons and perspectives (perspectives, projected views, panoramas, VR objects and animations). The real backbone of Artlantis 5 is this clear and intuitive tool bar, allowing you to access -- with a minimum of clicks -- a maximum of Artlantis features and parameters. You can make adjustments, improvements, and fine-tune your scene and see the results instantly -- without taking your eyes off the preview window.
