Hello,
Great idea and good luck.
And some great images there on your site. -
Merci a tous !
It's amazing how quick things goes on that forum...just post something, take a break, render one or two small pictures, have a drink, and then, it's ready, you have a full page of responses ! That's really exiting!I will do a lot of update to the site soon (I hope...), especially simple lessons to handle quickly Artlantis, with example and downloadable useful things... I'm also planning to have a new kind of sketchup tutorials, but I'm so busy with my work that I haven't had a second to do so since a looong time...
Wait and see !

Dear MrWip
I enjoyed your blog a lot. You are trying to do in french what I am trying to do in Italian... Let's see how far this takes us
Keep up the good work!
-
well your site is interesting.. a site in english will be better so for us who are interested in your advocacy could understand clearly whats happening. i love listening to french language, but i have difficulty in understanding it.
merci -
Ah guys...I know I know...I should translate it , but I already have barely time to write and create things to update it in French...And I really have a lot of things to say, so, it will come, be patient... Soon (let say some days if everything is fine..) there will be a basic Artlantis training course, to diversify the offer!
It's good to see your interest, it give more motivation to take time for it...
And by the way, at least, I've made a translated version of the Vray Presets an lights:
-
I am looking forward to your artlantis tutorial. I use it a lot, but I see that you have really mastered its possibilities.
I hope it comes soon, until then... good work!!

Mr wip, your web site is great! Thank you for the inspiration!
Question: Could any one compare V-Ray and Artlantis a bit?? Do you have a preference when choosing a rendering software for Sketchup? Thanks!
-
Trillium,
In fact, it's possible to compare every renderers, because, finally, they're all able to achieve the same result (more or less). The main question his, in fact, how easy and how efficient will it be to create this picture, with this one or this one...
-
Vray is well inserted into sketchup, and with some efficient presets, you can have a really good result. For example, and that's more than useful for an Architect, making a quick clay render to test a space is one of the most intersting thing with Vray. In addition, view point, face me component, layers are kept just the same than in sketchup, and so you can, for example, add the sketchup edges over the render easily.
When it came to the material edition, it's a bit more tricky... In fact, the link between Vray mat and sketchup one is not always well done, and it require more skills to set up well their properties. -
Artlantis is a complete independent application, and even if the link with sketchup is well done, you're not working directly inside it. All layer setting disappear, all face me component does not move, the focal angles are not matching... so you have to set up things by yourself. But when you begin to adjust materials or light, it's really easy and clear, and you can see the effect immediately. In addition, the render engine is one of the fastest you can find...
So, I think, for someone not specially familiar with 3D rendering (like architects...), Vray is really quick and efficient for concept renders, quick test, and a wide range of original effect (by combining it with the Sketchup styles) and Artlantis is better for a final picture(with more realistic effect in materials).
If you are interested, you can find a tutorial in English for Artlantis here http://www.wip-archi.com/wip-visualiser/artlantis/le%C3%A7on-1-les-bases/

MrWip,
Thank you so much for answering my question and for the link to your tutorial. I must say your tutorial is much MUCH better than the one from the Artlantis team on the same topic! I find their web tutorial really hard to understand, not sure whether it's the language or technical words
I'm using Podium right now for quick tests but I really like the realtime feature in Artlantis, plus I 'm really tempted to get some more levels of design ideas visualized, such as new materials, luminosity, etc, so I finally decided to jump into Artlantis, although I wish it's as easy to learn as Sketchup!
Your tutorial provided me with just what I need right now. Thanks a million! ! ! !!!!
By the way, I just had an idea while browsing through your much admired website. I used http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt to translate from french to english, and I thought maybe this feature will save you time when you decide to have an english version of you website. Their translation need editing but will be less work than typing everything yourself.
Cheers! -
Good to see that it have been helpfull !
The automatic translation is a really good idea (in fact, I've never really try this kind of tools before...
).In fact, after some test, the google translation is better, and there are not that much big mistakes or nonsense (just when I'm going off topic...).
For instance, I've quickly check the Vray lessons, and it works quite well... give it a try...
