It should also be possible to render them without any additional set-up, at least in Chaos’s own software: while they can be used in third-party renderers, how well they work depends on how well the software supports V-Ray materials, lights, and proxies. The assets respect the existing scale set up in a scene, and are correctly scaled in relation to one another. The format in which the assets are delivered varies according to the software in which they are used: in V-Ray for 3ds Max, they come in as V-RayProxy objects with native V-Ray materials.

The library, which is free to users of selected editions of V-Ray, was announced in a livestream, alongside software releases V-Ray 5 for Revit and V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max Update 1.Ī curated collection of architectural assets, optimised for V-Ray and Chaos VantageĬhaos describes Chaos Cosmos as a “high-quality, highly curated” collection of HDRIs and 3D models, including furniture, trees, cars and people, all intended to “work across the Chaos ecosystem”.Īs well as offline rendering, the models are optimised for use in real-time rendering tool Chaos Vantage and the new V-Ray Vision mode in V-Ray 5 for SketchUp and V-Ray 5 for Revit.Įach has three levels of detail: the lowest for display in the modelling viewports of V-Ray host software, the mid level for V-Ray Vision, and the highest for offline rendering. Chaos Group – now simply ‘Chaos’, following a change of branding earlier today – has launched Chaos Cosmos, a new online library of stock architectural assets optimised for use with V-Ray.
