V-Ray differs from other rendering solutions in that it includes both CPU and GPU+CPU hybrid rendering options. V-Ray renderer uses adaptive ray tracing technology and proprietary scene intelligence to create photorealistic imagery and animations. It accurately calculates the distribution of light as well as the physical properties of any material.

Chaos Cosmos is a universe of smart content - with hundreds of high-quality models, materials and HDRI skies that work perfectly with your visualization projects.

Chaos Cosmos makes it easy to add great looking 3D content to your projects. With a library of render-ready models, comprehensive materials and beautiful HDR skies, you can stage your architectural and interior designs in minutes. Simply add the assets to your scenes straight from the new Chaos Cosmos Browser. Creating impressive and detailed visuals for your projects has never been easier.

Chaos Cosmos assets are smart, which means they automatically show the right amount of detail wherever you view them. In the viewport, they’re lightweight for smooth interactivity. In V-Ray Vision, they’re more detailed and optimized for real-time. And in Chaos Vantage, V-Ray or Chaos Corona, they show in full photoreal detail. No matter where you see Chaos Cosmos smart content, it always looks great.

Chaos Cosmos offers a range of digital replicas of real-world fabrics and furniture models from industry-renowned brands. With Cosmos, you can stop relying on the client’s imagination to win projects. Present and market your ideas exactly as they will be built.

Chaos Phoenix is capable of a wide range of effects including fire, smoke, liquids, flames, explosions, rigid body simulations, ocean waves, mist and splashes to list just a few. Quick presets and fast setup make it easy to get started, and its powerful simulation engine offers complete control over more complex effects.

Fast-forward your digital review workflow with Chaos Player. Play back your own or your team’s animation output as soon as rendering is complete. Review new and updated frames in an instant. Chaos Player also lets you perform basic compositing, color grading, and editing in real-time, even while playback is running. And so much more. 

Manage your projects even better with contact sheets. Easily review and choose between sequence versions, and ensure that your render elements contain all the necessary image data. 

Save time and work with Chaos Player even more intuitively thanks to all the enhancements that update 1 introduces. Plus, we’ve added a number of fixes requested on the forum. 

Chaos scans is photoreal scanned material library.

Materials that would take you hours to create by hand have been scanned to perfection. Enjoy over 2500 pre-made materials that fit perfectly in your V-Ray and Corona workflow with a simple drag and drop. 

Each Chaos Scans material is generated using thousands of images. Real-world response to lighting, no seams - the result is often indistinguishable from the original sample.

Chaos Scans require no prior material-building knowledge, or use of reference materials. Simply choose your desired scan, drop it on a surface and you’re ready to render. 

 

Render a wide selection of physical materials including car paint, plastic, leather, fabric, foil and more. Plus, we’ve teamed up with some of the finest real world producers, so you can present your clients with the actual material you’ll be using before building your design.

With Chaos Vantage, there are no time-consuming conversions. Simply drag and drop your complete V-Ray scene into Vantage and start exploring. There’s also a direct live link available from 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, and Cinema 4D, so you can use it just like a viewport.

Drag and drop your V-Ray scene into Chaos Vantage and start exploring. Unlike other real-time solutions, there’s no geometry to optimize, UVs to unwrap, or lighting to bake. Chaos Vantage is built to handle huge scenes with billions of polygons and high res textures. It’s the fastest way for you to see your most detailed V-Ray scenes in real-time. With fully raytraced and real-time rendering, Chaos Vantage uses physically based cameras, lights, materials, and global illumination for the most realistic results.
