Slava Kashirsky, International Product Manager at ASCON, said, “Our collaboration with Lightworks began in 2008 when we were searching for an advanced photo rendering solution. Now we are glad to add Lightworks Artisan, fully integrated in our MCAD solution KOMPAS-3D, to our product line”.

Lightworks Artisan offers a completely new approach and tools for the creation of high quality images of virtual products or buildings, whilst they are still being designed. Artisan can be easily integrated directly within an existing CAD system and its simple workflow process enables a faster design to final image creation. The unique SnapShots functionality enables users to save SnapShots of scenes at any stage of the design process which can then be re-applied at any time within Artisan.
