New in Artlantis 3

Media
The richness of the online Artlantis gallery eloquently demonstrates that media play a key role in projects and…in
Artlantis 3 with new developments, new shaders…

Transparency of Billboards and Plants
Accessible directly in Artlantis, the new transparency slider allows you to set the transparency of billboards and 3D plants
in order to better view the project. There’s no longer any need for photo editing!

Detachable Components
Detach elements of the 3D model and keep them as internal components in your 3D scene using the polygon selection
tool. This component is easy to handle as an external object (aof) while remaining fully integrated in the scene.

Editable Anchor Points
The anchor point allows you to place and rotate an object or component in the 3D scene. Grab this point in the 2D view by pressing the “D” key, and simply drag
it to the desired location.

Media Search Function
When opening a file, Artlantis 3 allows you to search for and replace any missing media components on your hard drive, as well as delete them.

Layers
The continuous development of media (currently several thousand) has focused our interest on their management,
and on the handling of geometry in 3D scenes.

Layer Management
Artlantis 3 has a new structure of layers: scene, objects, 3D plants, lamps, animated objects and billboards. You can
also add or remove your own layers.

Automatic Placement
The “default layer” function allows you to determine the destination layer for each type of media. Once you add new
billboards or objects to your projects, you can have this placement done either automatically or manually.

Layer Import
ArchiCAD users will appreciate this new feature, which, thanks to the ArchiCAD export plug-in, allows you to select the layers you want to export to Artlantis.

Visibility by View
For greater ease of use and increased productivity, especially on large projects, hide the layers that might burden your work in preview
(for example, 3D plants). What’s more, this new function also allows you to present your various layout options from the same document.
