Dear Abvent / Artlantis

I’m writing to let you know that I would really like the following wishlist in the next Version of Artlantis 2021.

I’ve been using Artlantis since Artlantis Render and Studio. That being said I feel Artlantis needs a massive boost to compete with all the new Arch Viz programs currently on the market such as;

1. Vray
2. 3Ds Max
3. Twinmotion
4. Lumion
5. Enscape
6. Cinema 4d
7. Blender

For what ever reason its seems as though Artlantis is starting to become a joke in the Arch Viz industry with having Vray, surpassing Artlantis and not to mention the now new Twinmotion 2020 taking away from what Artlantis use to be.

I hope the Abvent Team can get Artlantis back on track with some major improvements and I hope the Artlantis User Community can also pitch in on what we want to see in the new version of Artlantis.

THE WISH LIST

ARTLANTIS

  1. The Option to open up multiple Artlantis files and not have to close and reopen projects.

  2. Import and Export - Having more options for comaptiblity

RENDERING

  1. PBR Shaders - Just finally unlock all the texturing & mapping settings to all shaders such displacement and 3D effect for whatever reason has been removed.

  2. Artlantis Store - Gives us better super high quality professional objects in the store and not sub par objects that lack quality

  3. GPU or CPU+GPU Rendering Options - Its now 2020 and users are starting to have computers with better graphics cards and the future of rendering is definitely GPU based render or better yet try to have a CPU + GPU to help with rendering.

ANIMATION

  1. Ready made High Quality objects such a butterflies, cats & dogs, Birds Flying and Cars with animated wheels when driving and turning with ready made cars with people driving.

  2. Where are our Animated People??? I was very disappointed in see barely ZERO new High Quality Animated People. I mean its great that you updated the people for 2d rendering but nearly ALL ANIMATED PEOPLE I PURCHASED ARE NO LONGER COMPATIBLE WITH ARTLANTIS 20 AND YET YOU HAVE NOT REPLACED OR UPDATED THE ANIMATION OF PEOPLE. I spent a lot of money on the animated people on your online store and now all the money has been wasted as all my animated people are completely dead in the water - I can not believe this happened.

  3. Animated Effects - We want to see strobe lighting, Fire, Smoke, Rain, Snow, Trees and Leaves moving in the wind. Doesn’t have to be crazy moving but just moving.

  4. Better Camera controls and Key Framing - Such as being able to include the use of DOF while recording animations to get a nice blurred affect.

  5. Grouped Animation of cars and people to quickly fill up a scene

  6. .MP4 Video Texturing and Animated GIF Texturing

  7. More lighting options such Long and narrow area lights

I really hope Artlantis can come back and give more back to the Artlantis Users that have been using this programs for sooo many years and want to re-invest all the assets they have gather over the years. I have spent well over $5,000 on licensing and purchasing of objects.

To leave Artlantis now is not an option for me having invested time and this amount of money.

Therefore I leave Abvent to please provide feedback or better yet what is ABVENT doing for the next release!? What can we the users get excited about because the other programs out there are surpassing Artlantis in every way.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon

Dear CamilleSarrut

Thank you for getting back to me.

Clearly I’m a huge fan of Artlantis and hate to see this amazing program being shun upon by the other ArchViz Programs and its users.

I had purchased Abvent’s 2019 Twinmotion Program as it was the best workflow with Artlantis being able to export out for faster animation.

Now that epic games has acquired Twinmotion, its now frustrating to see all Abvent efforts taken away.

I would love for Artlantis to evolve in every aspect of Rendering + Animations that it promises its users.

Artlantis Animated Movies used to be the very best but now seem to be no longer used as it takes forever to render an animation and depending what computer specs you have it can be no hope at all to use other than the Artlantis Render Farm.

Therefore I urge the Abvent Team to dig deep and deliver a better Artlantis.

thanks again

Hello!
Can you please tell me when we can expect the release of Artlantis 2021? :question:
Will there be a new engine (to catch up with the quality and speed of vray, corona, lumion)?

P.S. I noticed some problems in Artlantis 2019 - Artlantis 2020:
When you open any ATLO object, an empty file is created in the folder with this object - TestFile.txt. This happens if folder has a name written in non-Latin letters…

  • The color of 3D grass can now be selected from limited colors (white - yellow - rich bright green - dark green). Can you make a full palette? To also reduce the color saturation and increase brightness (for a more realistic grass color)? Now, from the proposed flowers, the grass looks like not real.
  • I would like more settings for Shaders - metal mask, glow mask, 3D relief mask, randomise texture duplication, overlaying multiple textures.
  • When you resave Shaders - the preview becomes blurry (loses sharpness).
  • In the post-processing of visualization, there is contrast, brightness. But there is no sharpness adjustment.
    Please do:
  • The ability to change the saturation and high brightness in the texture and Shaders settings!!!
  • The ability to pause the visualization process and continue the next time the program is turned on!!!
  • The ability to adjust the rendering settings during the rendering process.
  • Possibility to adjust post-processing settings after rendering.
  • etc:

Hi everybody and pardon my english,

My wish will be:

By night, add some stars and the moon, not configurable at first, but make them appear at least…

Use the drag an drop system to add sketchup object

As DQ Design says, make some « real » grass: i mean on TM, exteriors looks more real, i know the quality is not the best, but it’s better than artlantis actualy do.

Same projet on ArtLantis:

ARTL.jpg
ARTL.jpg855×480 149 KB

And TwinMotion:

TM.jpg
TM.jpg1045×510 160 KB

and funny fact, you can read on the Abvent website ( in french):

les deux sociétés [Ka-Ra et Abvent - Ndla] mettent en commun les innovations technologiques radicales expérimentées avec leurs logiciels Artlantis et Twinmotion.

the two companies are pooling the radical technological innovations experienced with their software Artlantis and Twinmotion. [Google traduction]

abvent.com/news/1710-la-sociy-t … bvent.html

And at least Artlantis is a French software,why we don’t have french cars? cant we have a Peugeot or similar ? My clients don’t drive Jaguars or Mustang, but 3008 or Talisman.

Thank to the team for their work!

Le but n’est pas de critiquer votre travail, bien au contraire !! ( et les sommes a débourser pour avoir le droit de mettre une Peugeot dans Artlantis)… Donc ce post n’est en aucun cas négatif, merci de ne pas le prendre comme ça.

Bon week end et à bientôt sur la 2021 ( avec un objet masque, malheureusement?)

Looking at the half-timbered (wooden beams of the facades), in TM the texture is correctly laid down, and in Artlantis the projection is horizontal or orthogonal.
A wish for developers - if the surface of the material initially supports UV-mapping of textures or Shaders, then make it by default - when pulling textures or Shaders on this material, automatically place them with UV-projection (now the default is vertical-projection).
And then, if necessary, the user can change them manually.

P.S. Add artificial intelligence to the program as much as possible! :exclamation:
It will speed up rendering, post-processing, etc.
This is the near future and will give you new buyers …

P.P.S. My observation (compared to other visualization software) is that in Artlantis all visualizations look kind of gray, as if a gray film is superimposed on the images.
And in nature, even gray has color shades.
Example (sky, water, grass and other objects with a gray and muddy tint, although it is a bright sunny day outside):

Good afternoon!
:bulb: There is one more wish for Artlantis 2021 - a very useful addition - to make the function of sound notification of the end of rendering.
In order not to constantly run to the computer and check whether the rendering is over and not to waste the necessary time for the empty work of the computer after the end of the rendering!
You can turn on / off the sound signal with the frequency of the signal every 30-60 seconds after the end of the visualization.
Thank.
