With support for open standards like USD and MaterialX, Chaos Vantage’s real-time ray tracing now fits seamlessly into any pipeline, giving artists and studios the freedom to work in any tool and collaborate across departments—even if they don’t use V-Ray.
You’ll soon be able to plug Vantage’s real-time rendering directly into your DCC of choice, giving you instant, high-quality feedback during lookdev and previz. No extra applications, no learning curve—just render seamlessly inside the tool you know and trust.
Handle massive projects with countless unique meshes effortlessly. Vantage keeps complex scenes smooth and fully interactive in real-time, letting you edit and explore without splitting them into smaller chunks or losing performance.
Render environments from real-world captures directly in Vantage. Freely add or modify 3D objects to suit your creative vision while leveraging ray-traced splats for added realism — all in real-time.
True volumes can now be rendered directly in Chaos Vantage, extending its use in high-end visual effects and archviz scenarios where elements like fog, smoke, or light rays enhance realism and atmosphere.
Bring real-world motion into your projects. Record the movement of a physical camera and translate it directly into Vantage for natural, cinematic shots without manual keyframing. Direct and refine sequences faster with authentic camera motion.
Duplicate animated V-Ray scenes with motion intact and apply spatial offsets that persist throughout playback. Each instance can be transformed independently, making it simple to build animated fields, crowds, or repeating motion from a single source scene.
Vantage now lets you edit material parameters without switching back to your 3D content creation tool, offering greater creative freedom and a more streamlined workflow for previz and lookdev.
AI Material Generator comes in Chaos Cosmos and makes material creation effortless. Upload any photo and instantly turn it into a render-ready PBR material with all necessary maps. Ideal for secondary materials that don’t require extensive art direction, it lets you quickly fill environments and interiors with realistic detail — no third-party tools needed.
Experiment with more flexibility and control over textures, making material workflows faster and more creative. Apply mapping sources like UVWRandomizer across all sub-maps for simpler setups, fine-tune texture variation with probability controls, and assign different looks to front and back surfaces.
Night Sky (Stars)
Easily create and render astronomically accurate night skies with realistic stars, Moon phases, and the Milky Way. Set the night sky elements based on real-world parameters such as date, time, and geo-location or by adjusting individual elements.
Explore over 1,300 new people models, more than 2,000 vegetation assets - including curated Asian varieties, and 1,800+ furniture and accessories, all ready to use for adding believable detail to interior and exterior scenes.
Achieve the look you want for landscapes and surroundings faster with versatile clustering modes. Generate Mode creates natural clusters using noise calculations, while Color Map Mode and Layer Paint Mode preserve object placement using color maps and layered painting data from 3ds Max for accurate rendering.
See exactly what your final render will look like as you set it up. Switch cameras, adjust resolution, and define sequences with precision — all in a streamlined, non-blocking interface that keeps you in the flow.
Easily generate black-and-white masks of selected objects for precise post-processing. Copy and paste them directly into compositing apps for faster iteration, seamless adjustments, and quick over-the-shoulder design presentations.
