Ok..so Artlantis 3 is out, the problem is that I really LOVE Artlantis, and that I am really busy these days working on different things, Because of that I didn't have much time to play with Artlantis 3.
However I managed to find some minutes to play around with it ,.. hmm.. now lets start with what is new (to view the official news click here) but here there is more of my - notes so far- still I have to work with the software a lot actually as I didn't even cover more than one or two points of the new features :
- A new Rendering Engine... hmmm.. good news , better quality with detailed models, more controlling options when it comes to final renderings, which is REALLY COOL, you can control different settings for surfaces (i.e : surfaces with direct sun, and indirect sun) you can control "Color Bleeding" quite dramatic huh? its actually the feature where you have reflected colors with radiosity ( like that green light emission that happens on walls next to grass) you can control that now ! and I love that ! the price that comes with that? is a slower rendering time compared to Artlantis 2. but still .. quite fast.
- Layers : that helps, now you can hide specific elements (layers) in some views ! whoohooo ! no more trees jumping in your face because you need to place it for another scene .(actually there is more about layers that you can even import specific layers from ArchiCAD !)
- Transparency option for BB and Trees ! nice feature , more of "now you see me .. now you don't"
- cloud and water animation .. you thing it is nice to watch a cloud passing by while a tsunami is coming your way ? well.. good because now you can do it in Artlantis 3 !
I still have to play with lights .. looks interesting !
any how here are some renderings with different settings :
