Chaos Vantage 2.7 is here!
This latest update delivers powerful enhancements that provide greater realism, artistic control, and efficiency—so you can bring your vision to life with ease.
Chaos Vantage is a technology for exploring and presenting V-Ray scenes in real-time within a 100% raytraced environment. Artists and designers simply drag and drop or live link their V-Ray scenes (.vrscene) to explore them immediately in real-time – without wasting time optimizing geometry and materials, unwrapping UVs, or light baking. Once in Vantage, users have the freedom to define and recall views and scene states, create immersive experiences, and better communicate their designs.
With support for an array of essential production rendering features, Chaos Vantage enables users to present their ideas with close-to-production images and video even at the previz stage while taking only a fraction of the render time.
Value proposition
Chaos Vantage is high-quality visualization tool for V-Ray artists to quickly explore and present their work in a fully ray-traced environment that can handle massive scenes. Unlike game engine alternatives, Vantage can maintain real-time speed for far larger models and is much faster to start using by not requiring any preprocessing steps.
Chaos Vantage users
Chaos Vantage users are most likely visualization specialists and design directors working in architectural firms or visual effects studios.
What it’s used for?
Archviz Artists
Scene exploration.
Interactively explore and present unlimited design variations. Switch between design options, material schemes, and lighting configurations to compare, explain, and explore all the possibilities you have for your design or its presentation.
Viewport companion.
See every aspect of your scene as you work in your content creation tool. A real-time companion view unaffected by scene size that gives you a highly realistic view of your scene as you adjust materials, lighting, and geometry.
Fast-rendering.
Super-fast rendering that is better than “good-enough”. Produce high-quality renderings and animations in record time at a quality level that makes approval easy - including all the render elements needed for post-production.
Visual Effects Professionals
Real-time reference.
Real-time ray tracing that closely matches your production rendering results as you finalize your scene. It’s perfect for over-the-shoulder discussions while making decisions.
Playblasts at much better quality.
Playblasts that convey the actual materials and lighting of your production for accurate review and approval sessions.
Previsualization.
Previz with full-size scenes that can be reused in production. Real-time raytracing, without any scene preparation or light baking that uses the same materials and lights as your production team uses.
Key benefits for users
Zero setup - Drag and drop your V-Ray scene into Chaos Vantage and start exploring. There’s no geometry and materials to optimize, UVs to unwrap, or lighting to bake.
Go big! - Chaos Vantage handles gigantic scenes and billions of polygons and high-res textures without a problem. Test it with your most detailed production scenes.
Ray-traced quality - Chaos Vantage uses physically based lighting, materials, and global illumination to create results with photorealistic accuracy — perfect for design validation.
Work in parallel - Instant sync of changes to your content with a live link to 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, and Cinema 4D. Speed up previz setup and rendering, and transfer any changes you make back to your DCC.
Easy navigation - Navigate your scene just like playing a game. There’s even automatic collision detection useful for climbing stairs and being blocked by walls — perfect for over-the-shoulder presentations.
Animations - Create and render animated sequences directly in Chaos Vantage. Create your pitch and tell your story in real time within Vantage. You can quickly render it offline for even better quality.
