The MiLANT project employs state-of-the-art rendering techniques based on GPUs. We use several programs and platforms and produce final imagery through a process pipeline. Different steps of this process can be identified:

• gathering all available maps, schematics, photos and/or drawings of the military structure
• filter out errors and misleading information
• gathering of base material (if available) from the actual site. If this option is not available a close proxy will be used.
• creation of materials for use within 3D computer aided design programs
• creation of material for use for rendering
• process of creating assets (objects) for 3D engines
• setting up scenery and verification of GIS position
• final rendering

While there are many different paths available to get to the final output choices had to be made. MiLANT employs

• Autodesk 3DSMax 2015
• Autodesk Mudbox 2015
• Autodesk Maya 2015
• Autodesk AutoCAD 2015
• Substance Designer 3.5
• Adobe Photoshop CC
• Adobe Illustrator CC
• Crytech CryEngine 4th generation
• OTOY Octane Render 2

The render platform and hardware are based on a custom built system.

• Intel Core i7-3820 CPU
• Asus P9X79Workstation (LGA2011)
• GeIL 64GB 1600 RAM
• 3x EVGA Geforce GTX670FTW 4GB
• 1x EVGA Geforce GT640 4GB
• Windows 7 Ultimate x64
