Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac interfaces directly with ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, SketchUp Pro, and Arc+. With the addition of the DWF, OBJ and FBX import formats and updated Autodesk DXF, DWG and 3ds Max plug-ins, Artlantis seamlessly interacts with all the leading CAD software as well.

Now you can change your Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac license from a Single License to a Network License, or vice-versa, for free.

• Single licenses, also called stand alone or non-network licenses, offer true portability and do not require access to your (LAN). However the user must connect to the internet at the time of each activation/deactivation to communicate with Abvent's server to gain access to the License. Also Abvent must be deactivated at the office workstation before using it on another machine. It is crucial to keep the serial number ready if this type of License is to be used.
• Network licenses require access to the office LAN with a designated computer running the Abvent KeyServer application at all times, which should be set to automatically launch on start up. The KeyServer application can be run on any computer on the LAN with an active internet connection and it communicates with Abvent's server to manage the activation/deactivation of LAN workstations automatically. The minimum network configuration is 2 seats, although WAN configurations across multiple office locations are not supported.
• If your original license choice does not meet your needs, please contact us to have it changed.

Real-time Preview in Global Illumination

Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac is designed based on the original concept of constant preview window interactivity, with user defined modifications and settings. The new and improved rendering engine lets you generate accurate radiosity images in real time within the 3D preview window. The final rendering is consistent with the 3D preview window, giving you a faithful and accurate representation of the high-quality images you’ll produce from your 3D models. The preview image is calculated each time a change is made to the lighting, subject or environment settings, enabling the user to control all adjustments without losing time. The extremely high speed of its computing engines even provides access, in preview, to the radiosity and raytracing effect settings.

Dependent Viewpoints

Each view of the project can make up a particular study integrating various representations ranging from the calendar date to a light source going out, or a change in the camera angle.

Catalog

Media manipulation is easy and transparent to the user. By simply dragging and dropping, the user can incorporate Shader, Object or Image folders into catalogs where he can then choose the elements he places into the scene. The same easy drag and drop procedure is used to apply the selected image or texture to dress an object, place a background or foreground image, add a furniture element or a person.

Operating Systems

Mac OS X users will be delighted because the Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac user interface is perfectly compliant with Apple's Guidelines. And Windows users will discover an Artlantis that meets the Microsoft platform standard.

Customizing Tools

To reduce the learning curve even faster, Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac lets you configure your graphic windows interface instantly by using the operating system's dedicated functions.

Navigation Tool

Compatibility with Space Navigator 3D mouse allows intuitive and powerful 3D navigation.

Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac combines the most advanced and efficient functions for realistic simulation of hardware and lighting needed for any 3D project. Communicating directly with leading CAD architecture software (such as ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, SketchUp Pro, and Arc+), Artlantis has the advantage of import functions for the main CAD formats.

Direct Connectivity

ArchiCAD, Vectorworks and SketchUp, the major Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac partners in the CAD architecture world, export directly to the Artlantis format. This direct link provides more complete and better quality data recovery than by going through a classic exchange format.

Main Exchange File Formats

Artlantis imports the most commonly used 3D formats: DXF, DWG, DWF, OBJ, FBX or 3DS. It is worth noting that, for 3DS format files, Artlantis Render 4.1 for Mac recovers certain data such as map textures and lights.

Use Reference File

The "Use reference file" function enables the user to make updates to a project in the modeler without losing any of the data already entered into Artlantis, regardless of the exchange format used.
