By exporting an updated model which refers to the reference file (typically the last saved Artlantis version), all scenes, lighting, object insertion, shader changes, etc are merged into the updated model seamlessly. ARCHICAD users can continue to modify their model even after they have set up scenes in Artlantis thanks to the 'reference file' technology of Artlantis. There is an extra-cost option to render using a built-in version of Next Limit's Maxwell engine for a physically accurate render. The most recent version of Artlantis includes HDR image (HDRI) backgrounds and illumination as well as a physical camera interpretation of the scene.

Post-processing filters allow for not just exposure adjustments, but also artistic effects. It is developed by the French software company Abvent Among the features of Artlantis are a real-time preview window that shows radiosity (illumination), textures, shadows, reflections, dynamic clouds and water surfaces and more, allowing real-time drag-and-drop scene setup and preview. Artlantis is a popular and easy-to-use rendering application for ARCHICAD and other CAD software.
