VW ArchiCAD and Artlantis?


Recommended Posts

I need some feedback from Artlantis users....... at my office we work with both ArchiCAD and VW, at the moment VW with Renderworks, BUT we are considering the step to Artlantis. If we have 1 person using ArchiCAD and another using VW how flexible is Artlantis?

Would it be possible to combine/merge a model partly created in VW and partly in ArchiCAD to one single model in Artlantis? Or even refernece parts of the model from the 2 CAD apps into one Artlantis file/model?

that's one of the nice things with artlantis,

you can get your artlantis materials mapped

to your VW-RW materials, your natural lighting

+ skies tweaked, artlantis furniture + planting,

then save that file to use as a template.

you can then export a new VW model into it,

the old model disappears + the new model

takes all the old settings, as long as you're

disciplined in VW with your generic materials.

then it's a matter of a bit of gardening,

furniture + camera arranging in artlantis

and you're ready to render. very fast.

i still do a decent application of RW materials

+ lighting in VW, as i can then work with clients

in real time + it looks pretty good. and that way

the file is very close to being ready for export

when i want good renders...
