Artlantis 4 Released
20 October 2011
As you may know, Artlantis is a standalone renderer, specially designed with Architects and Designers in mind. It's strength is in it's speed and ease of use, and the workflow which is tailored to run throughout the lifecycle of your project, regardless of what Modelling software you use.

The new version brings, among other things, iVisit 3D - a great new way to show off your project in a web browser or on a mobile phone or tablet. So you can show clients how the project will look from multiple viewpoints, and allow them to look around in set areas throughout the building(s).

Other new features are a massive speed increase (between 2 and 7 times faster than Artlantis 3!), 64-bit support, and overhauled Radiosity engine to make your renders even more realistic, and more. The full list can be found on the Artlantis website here.
