Take your previz to the next level with full ray-traced quality - without sacrificing speed.
Playblasts and previz that accurately communicate materials and lighting to be used in production, enabling more productive reviews and approvals.
Previz full-size scenes that can be reused for production - no simplification or baking required. Use the same assets as your production team.
Get a ray-traced view that closely matches your final production renders - perfect for finalizing scenes or over-the-shoulder review sessions.
Create a wide range of fluid dynamics effects in just a few clicks - no complicated setups and creative control preservation.
Simulate realistic fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist, and more.
Built for 3D artists who want to create effects that are fast to set up and easy to control.
Create all types of physically-based fluid effects with fast, smart controls for rendering, retiming, and refining simulations.
Render anything. Handle everything. Chaos tools are built for the biggest challenges in production with the speed and stability you need, no matter the scale.
Capable of handling dense geometry and complex assets.
Choose CPU, GPU, or both for peak performance.
Speed up production using multiple machines for rendering your shots.
No matter where production happens - on location, at an LED stage, or in post - Chaos solutions ensure asset continuity and consistency across departments.
Create once and use the same asset across the entire production pipeline, all the way from pre to post-production. No do-overs, no baking.
Use the same assets on LED walls and in final VFX shots, reducing rework and do-overs for traditional game engine workflows.
With support for USD, MaterialX, OpenPBR, and color management standards like ACEScg and OCIO, your pipeline stays flexible and future-proof.
Industry-standard production rendering.
V-Ray delivers uncompromising quality, scalability, and reliability, supporting artists and studios throughout the entire VFX pipeline.
Real-time speed, real-world realism.
Next-level playblasts, previz, and real-time references - all in real-time, without the need for time-consuming asset conversions.
The fastest way from pipeline to wall.
A real-time path tracer, bringing final-pixel quality straight to LED stages, enabling seamless asset reuse between VFX and VP without any pre-processing.
Liquid, fire, and smoke simulation tool.
All-in-one solution for fluid dynamics in 3ds Max and Maya. Simulate realistic fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist, and more.
Your fastest route from render to playback.
Play back your own or your team’s animation output as soon as rendering is complete.
Dive into a world where anything is possible—epic space battles, mythical creatures, breathtaking environments, and unforgettable characters. Every frame is a testament to the limitless possibilities of Chaos tools and the boundless creativity of the artists who wield them.
The team used only 3 days of shooting on the LED stage and managed up to 30 setups in a standard 10-hour shoot day —a testament to Arena’s stability, efficiency, and ease of use. Arena performed flawlessly, bringing over 2 trillion polygons to the screen for three consecutive days without any costly crashes often associated with traditional virtual production workflows.
Learn how Digital Domain helped breathe life into the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us with the help of V-Ray for Maya—and how they did it in a matter of weeks.
Update 1 adds a real-time fluid simulator for smoke and fire. Vantage now also integrates deeper into VFX workflows with a new Hydra Delegate for Houdini and an enhanced Maya Live Link, delivering high-quality real-time rendering directly in the DCC viewport.
This update adds smarter shading tools and new creative controls for customizing Gaussian splats and crafting realistic night skies. AI-powered tools for image enhancement, material generation, and upscaling. Plus, Vantage render output can now be streamed directly in the Maya viewport.
Update 2 adds Pyro-ready volume shading, enhanced compositing control, and faster volume rendering, plus support for Houdini 21 and improved Feather Procedural support. Also new: Gaussian splats clipping, Night Sky, AI material generation, and the Chaos Vantage Hydra Delegate.
Brings in macOS and Blender 5.0 support, plus AI-powered tools for image enhancement, material generation, and upscaling, making it easier than ever to create stunning, realistic, high-quality renders. Distributed rendering to speed up production, and more.
