The Advent Group today announced a new application in its established Artlantis software series called Artlantis Studio. The new application moves beyond Artlantis R, released last year, by adding motion to the rendering studio. Much like its counterpart, Artlantis Studio is based on the concepts of simplicity and realism. There are many new features offered unique to Artlantis studio including SketchUp integration, QuickTime VR renders, and a new animation engine. Artlantis Studio features real-time previewing, cataloguing, a dependent viewpoint, operating system compliance, and customizable tools. Artlantis Studio is priced at $1,000 (system requirements were unavailable).

Artlantis Studio combines functions for realistic simulation of hardware and lighting needed for any 3D project, and works with ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Arc+, etc. as well as supports DXF, DWG, 3DS, and other file formats. Featuring SketchUp as it's companion, Artlantis Studio adds many key integration features. The software includes integration with SketchUp. Users can also use a reference file that is editable without loosing its motions or animations in Artlantis Studio.
