Tried it, I get an error loading the successfully (from ArchiCad) saved file, Artlantis R states 'The file cannot be loaded'. - Not even a single column exported from Archicad...

I noticed in the documentation for the mactel plugin, it states that I should drop the 'ArtlantisR-Studio_Out' apx into the import/export folder of the add-ons.

However, the APX name in the downloaded package is actually: 'ArtlantisStudio_Out.bundle' - I don't know if that is the correct plugin, presumably yes? Several restarts, simple and complex models, lights and no lights have been tried, still, no success on import.

And yes, the CATL.framework folder is in the right place. (I am confused by the 'versions' subfolder, though...)

If you had this working on a PPC machine, check where the similar files are placed. The folder structure is the same on the Mactels. And don't waste a thought on the file name change, it's a typical Abvent error. Won't ever be corrected or documented. But may still change in the next version.

Thanks Thomas, the 'support' folder was added in the final AC mactel release, and I was informed by Abvent that there was a glitch with mactel export which will be corrected for ArtlantisR 1.2....as it is not yet available, I have been suffering exporting 3DS models and/or exporting from a PPC machine...which still works fine.

OK I'm sorry I couldn't solve it.

ArtlantisR1.2 - I didn't even know it was updated from 1.1! When was that?

I thought that would never happen - just that they would advice those who wanted it on Mactel to buy the new (universal) Studio instead. That would be more in line with their history. But maybe things are getting better?

re. 1.2, is not out, still waiting, maybe in vain?

Re.checking, I found Studio is at 1.2.2. R is still the 1.1 fc that i'vbe used all the time. Things appear to be the same after all. I seriously doubt there will ever be a an Artlantis R version higher than 1.1.
I expect I'll have to bite the bullet when upgrading to macintel and buy Studio.
or are you running R 1.1 (which runs in Rosetta PPCemulation) fast enough on the Macintel?
(edited) well, i guess,with your signature machine, it doesn't matter...

I am running ArtlantisR 1.1 on the mactel - it was perhaps surprisingly, very fast. Export from AC has never worked. Yes, I suspect Studio will be required...

My signature machine is out of date.....on my home planet, that is.

Hey guys - so has anyone been able to export to ArtlantisR from Archi10? I've been trying today with limited luck...

My existing (complex) model won't "save as" into ATL format, but a new, simple AC10 file (with a single slab! ha!) will export fine.

I guess that's two questions, then: anyone else having luck with ArtlantisR/macintel/AC10? and secondly: anyone have ideas for "cleaning up" and existing file for a proper export into Artlantis?

Thanks.

I bucked up and got the Studio upgrade, which is working (export from AC10/import) with no issues. The timeline is decent, camera motion is decent. Flythroughs take days to render (radiosity on) but our clients are totally blown away.

I have Artlantis R 1.2.2 Release fc0 and all the shaders,

Am using ArchiCAD 11 latest upgrade, (Mactel) OS 10.5.1 and have never been able to get anything to work. I downloaded all the "upgrades", "patches", etc, but nothing works.

Am I doomed, is there help? is there a fix, and upgrade? I am stumped.

MACPRO (MACTEL) 10.5.1
2X2.66 GHZ
8G RAM
7GB HD X 2
ArchiCAD 11

The latest release for Artlantis (R + Studio) is 1.2.6, and there is also an update for Leopard.

What exactly is not working? Are you able to open an artlantis file? If so, at what point does it stop working?

For future - copy this into your signature, to save ever having to type it out again.

I downloaded all the upgrades, patches and updated. I saved my file as an artlantis file, also saved another as a .u3d file. Have included a jpg of the results that happen every time.

I am working in ArchiCAD 11, will upgrade to 12 when it comes out and want Artlantis to work for me.

I guess my next shot is to uninstall, reinstall, load the upgrades and patches and see what happend !?

As I try to load the update, upgrade or whatever it is called, this is what happens

I just loaded the upgrade to 1.2.6 for the nth time and it finally worked, so I took a chance and loaded the patch upgrade and it worked also. I am now able to open Artlantis.

Cannot tell you how many times these upgrades were loaded last evening, after which I rebooted and repeated until my frustration level became such that I wrote of my situation here.

Have no idea why this decided to work now; but thank you to all who responded with intelligent querys as to what I was doing, had done etc.

Now need to learn how it works.

Hello! I'm new doing interior rendering with archicad. I find that the AC objets are not realistic, especially people. It is possible to import 3D objets from Art.lantis or 3D max?? Please advise, Thank you. Alba

Artlantis objects can only be used in Artlantis. Any 3ds object can be brought into ArchiCAD via the 3ds import plug-in (Help > Goodies to download) - but often those have many polygons which can result in slow ArchiCAD performance.

But, if you are doing interiors, you are well-advised to use Artlantis and not ArchiCAD for your renderings, as interior illumination with ArchiCAD is a slow and tedious process which even after great effort cannot match radiosity obtained quickly in Artlantis.

Cheers,
Karl
