- Functions
- Every element can be modified, interactively, at
any moment and visualized instantaneously in the preview window.
- Artlantis provides fast, precise and flexible
fine-tuning of any 3D scene results in images and animations of
incredible realism and atmosphere. Shaders are applied by a single drag
& drop, whether they are predefined "ART lantis® shaders" or new
textures created by the user.
- The library of shaders is organized by families,
which facilitates their installation, distribution and management. The

easily. Each modification of shaders is entirely graphic: from the
choice of color to the adjustment of reflection, everything is
controlled, interactively, by a simple cursor.

creating and editing animation sequences, manipulating camera parameters
and behavior, setting speed and timing, sun-light studies, linking
sequences and exploring panoramic views are just a few of them.
- Functions include the integration of a background
3D image, the application of 3D atmosphere effects, or the setting of
depth of field, the user can personalize his or her presentations and
obtain highly realistic results.
- An interactive 3D presentation, a VR object, a VR
panorama or a 3D animation that enables the viewer to explore 3D
designed objects, interior spaces and the exterior of architectural
