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.

Get Ready for the Revolution!

A tantalizing new website appeared recently, along with a series of mysterious tweets and posts offering this compelling call to action: Get Ready for the Revolution! For Artlantis fans who have anxiously been awaiting word on the next release, your wait is over: Artlantis 5 is coming soon!

The website features a release date countdown timer, along with a series of letters that form the word "REVOLUTION." Over time, each letter will unveil sneak peaks of some of the exciting new features of Artlantis. The first letter, R, links to an eye-popping video of a new feature that many users are sure to appreciate: relief mapping. We witness a stone wall transforming from a flat texture mapped surface to a truly 3-dimensional surface with plenty of depth. The video is short but impressive, and succinctly illustrate the vast potential for this feature to be used on a wide variety of building materials that architects and designers specify on a regular basis.

Visit the new website and while there, be sure to sign up to for the email list so that you can learn about other exciting Artlantis 5 announcements.

Iberfibran develops objects in cooperation with BIMobject

Portuguese manufacturer IBERfibran, from the international Fibran group, has created BIM objects for their insulation systems. FIBRAN SA designs and manufactures products and solutions for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and fire protection, bringing energy efficiency into building, industrial and marine applications.

"Iberfibran started this project in collaboration with BIMobject® in order to allow engineers, architects and designers to have an easily accessible tool to develop their insulations projects. We believe that this collaboration will simplify the process of modeling a building. We also believe that to be successful, we have to anticipate our client's needs, and designers are our first clients in the chain of promoting and selling our high performance isolation FIBRANxps," says Vera Silva, Product and Marketing Manager for IberFibran.

The range of four Iberfibran xps products are made available as a complete set of library parts, covering main needs for building insulation. The objects are available both in Revit and ArchiCAD. Please follow the link below to see the products on the BIMobject® portal, and while there, register to download them free of charge.
