This is my first post. I discover this forum new.
In my opinion artlantis and sketchup like best friends. And they complate eachother.,
1- Two of them is easy to use. this is why so many peoples like sketchup and artlantis.
2- Two of them quality programmes.
3- On Sketchup you dont use high poly trees; sofas all furnitures.. You can buy evermotion series or all free 3d objects import artlantis. you can do settings and save artlantis object file. You only drag and drop all furnitures; trees, cars etc. on artlantis. And ready to render.
Maxwell render time is ..... 20 hours- 30 hours but the quality not match any others. I think the best one.
Vray is very nice but on sketchup you cant use high poly trees all the things etc.
This is my opinion yes reality of artlantis is not match with vray or maxwell but better than twilight; indigo etc.
On artlantis render time is faster 3x; 5x; 10x than other applications. In this forum there is a gallery artlantis and sketchup(el azul estiduo).
İf you are a max user it isnot important which renderer but if you are use sketchup it is important which renderer and I THİNK the best choice is Artlantis for Sketchup.
