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.

Artlantis 5 Sneak Peek: Preview Controllers

We are so close to the launch of Artlantis 5! Based on what we've seen thus far, it's hard to believe it can get any better. But look at what's behind the letter 'O' in R E V O L U T I O N...OH my goodness!

Handling shaders or simple textures in the preview or in the 2D window is easy. A preview controller allows you to move, resize, and rotate shaders and textures. A simple keyboard shortcut is all it takes to snap a shader or texture to the geometry automatically.

Just like shaders and textures, objects are handled with the same ease in the preview or in the 2D view. Rotate, move, resize or duplicate...everything is optimized! The objects can also be snapped onto edges.

Artlantis 5 Sneak Peek: God Rays

Abvent has revealed what's behind the letter 'O' in R E V O L U T I O N...and Artlantis 5 promises to be nothing less than revolutionary!

The new volumetric lighting feature that will be available in Artlantis 5 can be activated for the Heliodon, as well, simulating the so-called God Rays as a result. God Rays, as the name implies, are those ethereal, visible rays of light reaching down from the heavens. We've all observed how in real life, under the right conditions, the sun casts a warm curtain of light through obstructions like clouds, leaves, etc. God Rays are an incredibly dramatic addition to your Artlantis tool kit.
