vrscene format and live-links to 3ds MaxĬhaos Group’s pitch for using Vantage over other real-time rendering solutions – particularly Unreal Engine, which is free for this kind of work – is ease of use. Potential use cases include simply viewing very large architectural scenes like massing models, scouting camera positions for offline renders in V-Ray, and generating real-time previs-quality animations. It is available free until June 2021 September 2022.Ī new tool for scouting very large architectural scenes in real timeįirst shown as a tech preview at Siggraph 2018, and released in public beta this summer, Chaos Vantage is pitched as a tool for exploring large 3D scenes in a fully ray traced environment.Īlthough there are potential uses for visual effects and animation – for example, scouting virtual sets – the main target market is architectural visualisation. The software, previously known as Project Lavina, makes use of the RT cores in current-generation Nvidia RTX graphics cards to generate an interactive real-time, fully ray traced view of the environment.

Scroll down for news of the Vantage 1.8 update.Ĭhaos Group has released Chaos Vantage, its new tool for exploring large V-Ray scenes in real time. Everything and much more within the video.Originally posted on 2 December 2020.

Velazquez shows how to use the Migrate Legacy Scene to update your scenes to the V-Ray5 flows, without forgetting the Value of EV exposure incorporating VRay’s physical camera. I will update the workflow to illuminate an interior with VRay Sun and Sky using Dome Adaptive to stop using SkyLights Portals. I’ll play around with LPE Light Path Expression. The walkthrough also covers the new VRay Proxy node using VRay Mesh and Alembic. We will see the UVW Randomizer Stochastic Tiling and the MultiSub Tex with the Random Hue, Saturation, and Gamma. I will show the new CarPaint 2 Mtl = Flakes 2 Mtl and VRay Dirt with the new Inner Occlusion option and the Ambient Streaks. VRay Hair Next and VRay Mtl incorporate the Presets together with the Coat and the Sheen layer to make woven and varnish type materials. New render element: Back to Beauty, Toon, and Light Select. We will see in full my first impressions and unique workflows, the new design and enhancements within the VRay Frame Buffer VFB 2.0, the maximum use in Light Mix, Composite, and new ones, such as Filmic ToneMap or LookUp Table LUT, use of Render Element, Folder and Constant. Vray brings radical and current improvements. A newly redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer plays host to two of VRay 5’s most anticipated features: Light mix and a new layer compositor.Ĭheck out Carlos Alvarez Velazquez and his new video covering everything you need to know about the new Vray release for Maya.
