Real-time Preview in Global Illumination
Like its predecessor, Artlantis is designed based on the original concept of preview window interactivity, with user-defined settings and modifications. The new and improved rendering engine allows you to generate accurate radiosity images in real time within the 3D preview window. The final rendering is consistent with the 3D preview window, giving you an accurate representation of the high-quality images you’ll produce from your 3D models. The preview image is refreshed each time a change is made to the lighting, cameras or environment settings, enabling you to control all adjustments without losing time. The extremely high speed of its computing engines makes it possible to display the preview window in radiosity at all times.
