1: SUBJECT: My book is modern - addressing Artlantis 2, in which there are substantial improvements. It has been pre-ordered in a large quantity by Abvent. I am the man.
2: COMPREHENSIVE: My book will be good, in that it provides actual solutions to problems that architects have rather than a mere rehash of functions. So if my book had a sub-sub title, it would be "One Book to Rule Them All."
3: COLOR: My book is in color. Imagine communicating about something subtle like color values and luminosity - the things that make Artlantis great - using murky shades of grey.
4: READABILITY: My project is written in readable, engaging English, not translated with a lot of extraneous words from Italian. Not that when the Italian Palladio experts came to Vancouver last winter and lectured the architects here all day with simultaneous translation, I didn't expand my vocabulary.
5: STYLE: "The Artlantis Attitude" grabs the idea of rendering and streamlines it for architects. I actually use this program daily to refine my public art proposals, so I'm aware of what you need to communicate design, whether Photoreal or PhotoSketch or PhotoDream. Every book i read about rendering drives its pickup truck right into the ditch of obtuse geekspeak. Simple language spoke here.
6: PRAGMATICS: The ultimate PhotoReal work is still time consuming to achieve through setup and tweaking. Besides, most models lack the completeness to support this level of rendering without looking artificial and alienating. I am going to spend lots of time addressing how to optimally get the pretty bits out of Artlantis without getting mired in extremes. Artlantis 2 has artistic tools to tone down realism and hide model flaws. Getting art without breaking stride.
7: PHOTOSHOP: A piece on Photo editing. All illustrators use Photoshop to perk up their renderings. I know that it comes as a disappointment to hear that EVEN ARTLANTIS RENDERINGS NEED PHOTOSHOP, because even a fine rendering can always be Luminositized® with a gradient burn. This is easy in Photoshop because Artlantis exports a multi-layer document to Photoshop that has material ID coding to simplify selecting specific surfaces.
8: ONGOING SUPPORT: After primary release, buyers can subscribe to monthly lessons and updates. Issues will be addressed from the readership.
The way things are going, mid-October, if i stay out of jail. But i am already answering questions, taking pre-orders and topic suggestions at the address below. Already i have notable queries like "render beer in a glass." Must study subject closely now that summer is here. Making a Glistening Condensation Map today....
Attached is an afternoon sketch. It greatly encourages me to have pre-orders from the Archicad Talk Community, so please order now.

Thank you for the quick response.
