Veras supports visualization workflows by turning sketches, 2D images, and 3D models into presentation-ready images and animations. With Veras, users can explore ideas, styles, and moods early in the process without breaking design intent. This power now comes standard in all of Chaos’ core renderers and across every licensing tier, so architects, designers and visualizations teams can achieve faster ideations while working in SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks, 3ds Max and Revit.

An Easier Experience

For years, Chaos has been building an end-to-end design and visualization ecosystem that takes users from early design through final presentation. As that ecosystem grew, so did the opportunities to connect it more tightly. Today’s release addresses that directly, with deeper integration across the products architects and visualization artists already rely on.

To start, all products can now be downloaded using a single installer. This way, users who want to employ multiple products can begin incorporating them all at once. Chaos is also introducing a new hybrid-licensing system that adapts to how users work. Built on a new credit system that provides access to cloud rendering and AI services, users can now scale up or down depending on what they actually need.

“Having AI capabilities integrated directly into our tools has made a big difference to our workflow,” said David Law, BIM Manager for Bellway Homes. “Going from Revit into Enscape with a click, and then into Veras with another click, is far more efficient than opening separate software and moving files around. Any design changes we make are instantly reflected, which keeps the whole process moving smoothly.”

Enscape Updates

As part of this launch, Chaos is also announcing fresh updates for several products, including Enscape. The new features include:

• Envision Live Link — Moving scenes from Enscape to Enscape Envision is now a one-click affair, helping users jump into advanced animations without a complex export-import process.

• 2500+ New Chaos Cosmos Assets — Chaos’ massive 3D asset library gains new real-time optimized people, vegetation, accessories and branded assets, making it easier to add AEC-ready entourage to a scene. In addition, a new AI-driven search tool will help users find their “perfect” Cosmos assets in seconds using natural language (also in V-Ray and Corona).

• Chaos Cloud Video Collaboration — New access to remote video collaboration tools connects the design, presentation and feedback process into a visually robust loop.

V-Ray and Corona Updates

• 1000+ New Chaos Cosmos Assets — New archviz-ready assets are available to visualization teams, including new high-quality accessories and furniture.

• Vantage in the Viewport — Chaos real-time rendering engine Vantage is now accessible within the V-Ray viewport, enabling rapid scene exploration and smoother design reviews, even while working with massive, fully ray traced scenes.

Corona-Only Updates

Today, also marks the launch of Corona 15, which will see Chaos’ push-button simple renderer continuing to evolve beyond visualization, as it brings AI ideation, photoreal rendering, and cinematic animation into one intuitive environment.

• Enhanced Material Detail — The new Glints layer simulates the sparkle of small, angled surfaces, making it essential for replicating metallic flakes in car paint, sand and snow.

• Improved Gaussian Splats Blending — Gaussian Splats now accurately bounce Global Illumination light onto 3D models, allowing captured environments to blend naturally into the scene.

• Faster Animation Parsing — Users can now reduce animation render times in 3ds Max, using a smarter rendering workflow that no longer reprocesses the entire scene for every frame.

• 3D Streaming — Anyone can now walk through their vision in real time. Users simply share a 3D streaming link and stakeholders can instantly explore the visualization interactively, at their own pace, on any device.
