Abvent is druk bezig met het ontwikkelen van van hoogwaardige render producten onder de naam Artlantis. Zo staan Artlantis Classic en Artlantis Studio op de planning voor 2006 maar kunnen we Artlantis R al uitproberen. Dit programma is gericht op het maken van hoogwaardige renders in real time. Objecten uit onder andere ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Arc+ kunnen zonder problemen worden ingelezen. Wie meer wilt weten over de specificaties en mogelijkheden moet zeker deze pagina's door lezen. Versie 1.0.2 is zo juist uitgebracht als een update voor versie 1.0 en 1.0.1 van dit programma. De meegeleverde lijst met veranderingen ziet er als volgt uit.
