ACM007 - Artlantis 101
So this is a followup show to ACM006 - intro to Artlantis, where I explored what Artlantis is and why it’s such a fantastic piece of software - especially for architects. It would probably be best to check out that show for a quick introduction before diving into this one, but still this is just going through the basics. Abvent Artlantis is recognised as the fastest and most powerful solution for photo-realistic rendering and animation developed for architects and designers. This show will bring you up to speed on lots of the functions and capabilities of this great piece of software!
I’m exploring how to download the Artlantis 3 trial from the Artlantis site as well as MyArchicad.com - where I downloaded the Archicad 13 trial in the Archicad 101 show. If you’re a student or teacher, just like with Archicad you can apply for a free 1-year educational license for Archicad and Artlantis from myarchicad.com.
In addition to the trial, I download the Archicad to Artlantis exporter - enabling me to save my 3D Archicad model into an Artlantis one, so I can edit and render it. Next I export the 3D building model I created in show ACM005 from Archicad, import it to Artlantis, and give a quick overview of the general interface. I then add some shaders to the model from the Catalog - Artlantis’s great object manager - while replacing some of the Archicad materials with the more sophisticated Artlantis shaders, setting the scene with the heliodon and cloud formations, and then finally rendering a scene for final output.

ACM004 - Archicad 101
In this episode I continue the
Archicad series, firstly
exploring the educational + professional
licenses, downloading the trial versions +
installing them, as well as Archicad 12 + 13
compatibility with mac + pc. Following with a
tour of the basic interface, and the general
workflow logic to get you started, we dive
into one of the major parts of the Archicad
interface - the “Navigator”, defining the
“Project Map”, “View Map”, “Layout Book”, and
“Publisher Sets”.

ACM001 - Sketchup 101
Users can simply draw lines to create a traditional 2D CAD drawing, or take it a step further and quickly create 3D objects. Along with its seamless integration with Google Earth, it is a very powerful piece of software which practically anyone can learn and master.
Following an overview of the program’s capabilities and main user interface we continue with some basic and essential techniques to get you started.
