Artlantis technology is available in two main versions, offering a product line suited to different needs and practices.

Artlantis Render - Radiosity for fixed images

Artlantis Render is a unique and ideal tool for performing very high resolution rendering easily and in real time. The FastRadiosity™ engine lets you calculate radiosity images... with preview in real time. Artlantis Render uses 3D components and 3D vegetation directly in the preview window by simply dragging and dropping them. This enables users to work quickly on the various scenarios and simulate virtual scenes in a real environment.

Artlantis Studio - Animation for everyone

Artlantis Studio is the perfect tool for professionals who design presentations based on fixed images, animation, QuickTime VR panoramas, etc.

Equipped with the new FastRadiosity™ engine, Artlantis Studio offers advanced functions such as scene animation and object animation, to name just a few. Just like with most Artlantis functions, camera pan, viewpoints and aim points are defined easily and intuitively.

Artlantis Media

In addition to the standard library, Abvent offers theme-oriented CD-ROMs that provide a multitude of materials and 3D objects that you can use to produce composite images. These are produced specially for Artlantis by a number of industry partners or independent designers.
