Unlike general-purpose AI video tools, the Veras image-to-video generator is designed specifically for AEC workflows, integrating natively with Revit, Rhino, SketchUp and other modeling software. Adding onto Veras’ existing AI platform — built to take 3D models, 2D drawings and images and quickly create AI-rendered design ideas and style variations — designers can now go a step further and pan and zoom cameras, animate weather and change the time of day with just a few clicks. With the look determined, users can then add motion to the scene through vehicles and digital people, turning still images into immersive, moving stories.

Veras 3.0 marks Chaos’ latest step in giving creatives across industries faster, smarter ways to work, without the need to master complex new software. Since adding Veras to its portfolio earlier this year, Chaos has also expanded integration of the AI Enhancer, which automatically transforms flat renders of people and vegetation into photoreal elements. First introduced in Enscape in 2024, the AI tool is now available in Corona and V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max, with support for additional V-Ray integrations coming soon.

The company also recently launched the AI Material Generator, a tool that transforms real-world photos into reusable, physically-based materials that can be stored in Chaos Cosmos. Currently available in Corona and V-Ray for 3ds Max, the tool will soon be extended to other Chaos products, including V-Ray integrations.

“The AI Enhancer saves me time by refining images instantly, reducing the need for extra post-production,” said Agnieszka Klich, co-founder, Arch Viz Artist. “When I don’t have textures available online, the Material Generator lets me quickly create a material without disrupting my workflow. Both tools make the process faster and more creative, which is exactly what I value in Corona.“

The Next Wave of AI-Powered Tools from Chaos

Autodesk University attendees will be among the first to see several new AI tools and upgrades that will soon be joining the Chaos ecosystem. Trained using ethical standards, the new tools offer users across multiple industries new, more efficient ways to create.

New reveals include the following:

• Advanced User Controls in AI Enhancer – More options for refining people and vegetation are coming to the AI Enhancer for Enscape, Corona and V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino and Revit. These include tools to help target people for specific demographics and moods, and provide finer enhancement control over specific areas.
• AI Mood Match – Users will soon be able to match complex lighting and environment settings automatically to a reference image, removing the need for manual sky and sun adjustments.
• AI Material Recommender – AI-powered material search within Chaos Cosmos will offer context-specific recommendations, making it easy to find the right fit instantly.
• AI Upscaler – This AI feature allows users to get higher-resolution renders for free, by enlarging render outputs by up to four times, while preserving photoreal quality.
• Cylindo Quickshot – QuickShot enables product and marketing teams to turn standard product images into photorealistic lifestyle scenes in just a few clicks. Purpose-built for furniture, it preserves detail and scale accuracy while giving users control over lighting, props and backgrounds. QuickShot addresses common AI shortcomings — distorted products, inconsistent details, off-brand results — delivering visuals that build customer confidence and drive conversion.

Autodesk University 2025 Demos and Talks

Autodesk University attendees can see Veras 3.0 and first-look demos of soon-to-launch Chaos AI tools at Chaos Booth #307. Private demos are available upon request.

During the show, Chaos’ Roderick Bates, head of product operations, and Bill Allen, director of products, will host the session, “Design to Delivery — Faster with the Right AI.” The session will explore how to choose the right AI tools for design workflows, and provide practical tips for effective AI implementation.

Pricing and Availability

Veras 3.0 is available now as a standalone tool, and as part of the Enscape Premium and ArchDesign Collection Suites. Educational pricing is available, and complete pricing for individual licenses and bundles can be found on the Chaos website.
