Real-time rendering for virtual production.

The first-ever path-tracing solution for virtual shoots.

What is virtual production?

Virtual production empowers filmmakers and directors to visualize live-action footage within virtual environments. This facilitates on-the-fly creative decisions, accelerating workflows across production and post-production and resulting in cost savings and increased flexibility.

Virtual production can be used in many different phases of the filmmaking process, including virtual scouting, pre-visualization, in-camera visual effects, real-time compositing, and motion capture. Because the rendering is done live, filmmakers can make decisions, such as composition and lighting, and adjust them in real-time. And, with LED volumes, they can even capture those choices in-camera and produce shots that are indistinguishable from location cinematography.

Pushing the boundaries of virtual production.

A product of the Chaos Innovation Lab, Chaos Arena (formerly Project Arena) is the first-ever real-time path-tracing solution for in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) on virtual production stages. Extensively tested across diverse stage setups and configurations around the world, including the making of Ray Tracing FTW(link), Arena has officially transitioned out of beta and is now production-ready.

Why is Chaos Arena a game-changer?

  • A cost-effective, user-friendly alternative to traditional game engine workflows.
  • The fastest, simplest way to bring 3D content from trusted pipelines to LED walls—no preprocessing required.
  • Seamless asset continuity from pre-production through post, eliminating the need for any do-overs.
  • Instant on-set creative adjustments without costly re-baking, reducing reliance on post-production fixes.
  • Fully ray traced quality renders in real-time, with accurate lighting that seamlessly blends virtual environments with physical sets.
  • Built to handle complex scenes effortlessly, Arena removes technical barriers, allowing you to focus on storytelling.

Lights, camera, Arena.

Ray Tracing FTW.

Have a laugh and see innovation in action.

The Wild West goes high-tech in "Ray Tracing FTW," a playful meta-commentary on VFX's impact on modern storytelling, featuring Hollywood VFX legends. Blending traditional filmmaking with real-time ray tracing, it unleashes on-set creative freedom in virtual environments and showcases how Chaos Arena (formerly Project Arena), V-Ray, and Vantage push the boundaries of virtual production.
