Quickly create approval-winning animations, no matter how big your architectural scenes are.
Chaos® Envision is a standalone 3D visualization tool for architectural visualizers seeking photorealistic, real-time rendering, and next-level animation capabilities. It’s ideal for assembling large, complex scenes and quickly creating high-quality animated design presentations from your CAD projects.
Benefit from an ecosystem
Being the latest addition to the Chaos Ecosystem, Envision also supports a cohesive workflow, extending the capabilities of our well-established tools.
Projects started in Enscape or V-Ray can seamlessly continue in Envision, enabling designers to create dynamic presentations, without losing any work from earlier stages.
Why choose Envision
·Uninterrupted workflow
·Easy design exploration
·Quick animation production
·Cinematic storytelling
Enjoy an uninterrupted workflow.
Robust scene assembly
Combine scenes from various 3D creation tools with no prep needed — visualization starts immediately and original data is loaded directly and accurately.
Continuous design
Coordinate between exported scenes and Envision enhancements seamlessly — visualization stays up to date even as the scene evolves.
Streamlined cooperation
Envision works with any projects that are authored for Enscape, V-Ray or Corona - by leveraging the .vrscene format it can be directly integrated in existing workflows.
Explore scenes via unlimited visualization variations.
Real-time design exploration
Research different lighting scenarios, materials and entourage options and see them demonstrated through scene phasing and animated transitions between design variations.
Materials editor
Effortlessly transform generic architectural materials into natural, visually appealing finishes, elevating the authenticity and impact of your projects. Advance Enscape materials and lighting with more realism.
3D Entourage
Enrich your scenes with ready-to-use high quality assets and custom models that can be quickly instanced or scattered.
Quickly create immersive design presentations.
Advanced animations
3D animation for architectural visualization that is both powerful and easy to use — from moving objects on paths to coordinating crowds of animated humans, from showing construction phasing to design variations and sun studies.
Manipulation on object level
Adjust any aspect of your project without needing to pre-separate objects — data is imported at the object level of granularity and provides maximum flexibility and control.
Complex models support
Unlike raster renderers, with Envision performance doesn’t degrade as scenes get larger. Dive into massive, intricate designs without sacrificing speed or clarity.
Animate and captivate: tell your best design story.
Most convincing humans
Bring designs to life with crowds of animated humans that are easily added thanks to direct integration of the renowned Anima engine.
Uncompromised quality
Continue in real-time photorealism as your scenes grow — even into the trillions of faces — thanks to 100% ray-traced rendering.
