  • Extreme Artlantis Animation

    Never content until I’ve reached the limits of possibility, I created this rendering as a way of testing more of Artlantis Studio’s capabilities.  This is a simple animation of the SloArch logo but there is a lot going on in 34 seconds.

    The modeling was all done with SketchUp.  As I did with my previous animation each piece was modeled and then converted to an Artlantis Object.  This allows each piece to be animated.

    I tried animation just about everything in this clip.  Besides some very complex paths, objects are rotaing and pausing in their motion.  The clouds, sun paths, and water all all being animated.

    In order to create the wave effect I animated the water material to change wave size over time.  This allowed the movement at the beginning of the sequence.

    There is definetly room for improvment.  Not being able to animate the infinite ground plane was a problem, and the cloud animations are not as smooth as I would like.

  • First Impressions of the Artlantis Revit 2010 Add-In

    First off, if you haven’t downloaded the beta add-in you can do so by going to the Artlantis download page. I had the Revit 2009 add-in installed so I first had to uninstall this add-in. The install process for the 2010 add-in is very simple and just a standard installation. artlantis_install_1 (more…)

  • Using Artlantis to Bring the ReZist-It Panel to Life.

    Here is a short video of my first animation using the Artlantis software package to show how the ReZist-It panel system is assembled.

    The model geometry was created in Google Sketchup and each piece was imported individually and saved as an object.  Each object was then individually placed and animated.

    • Frame count: 1050
    • Resolution: 640px x 480px.
    • Anti-aliasing: Low
    • Radiosity: low
