Artlantis Studio 'versus' Cinema 4D Architectural edition

[Anonymous]

I am a registered user of Artlantis 4.5.

To upgrade to Artlantis Studio is almost as expensive as buying a new license. So I am considering Cinema 4D Architectural Edition as well, although it is more expensive. I also understand that the learning curve is harder than Artlantis, but the software is more powerful. The point is if that extra power is worth a € 600 difference?

Could someone advise on the 'pros' and 'cons' of Artlantis Studio 'versus' C4D Architectural Edition?

You go to Window>Album, then display the Album drawer (the additional window that slides to the left or right of the Album window) then click inside the picture, then click and drag from one of the materials shown in the postcard to one of your materials in your Preview window (note: you must click inside the Album window once to make sure that it's the active window _before_ you start the click-and-drag process).

Postcards are added to the Album by clicking on the little icon with the picture frame and the plus sign (+).

Basically, Postcards are special JPG files which also contain shader information taken from the Artlantis model.

A more basic question.....

How the heck do you download it? Where is the button on the ArchiRadar page to download the postcard file?

You need to be logged-in. The site has two different registration/log-in systems, one for the forum and the other for download. This one is located on the left column of the home page.
You can use the same user-name and password for both.
