Chaos Vantage [Annual]

Chaos Vantage | Floating 

High-quality scene exploration in real-time.

Explore your most complex V-Ray 3D production scenes ray traced in real-time. With Chaos® Vantage, there are no time-consuming conversions. Simply drag and drop your complete V-Ray scene into Vantage and start exploring. Quickly create high-quality visualisations or pre-visualisations for architecture, film-making, automotive and more.

Chaos Vantage 2, what's new:

Chaos Vantage 2 introduces significant new capabilities such as unlimited design experimentation, render elements, deforming geometry, atmospherics, and faster workflows, which elevate Vantage to a top-level Chaos offering.

Scene states. Assign light setups, materials, object transformations, and post-process looks to different cameras. Easily recall and send them for batch rendering.

Deformed meshes. Bring people and vegetation to life and create richer animations for your project presentations.

Render Elements. Add the most popular render elements, as well as object and material masks, to fine-tune your images in post.

Scatter. Populate your scenes with millions of objects in just a few clicks. Our new scatter tool allows you to quickly and easily create forests, fields, crowds, and more.

NVIDIA AI Denoiser with upscaling. Employ the NVIDIA AI Denoiser when rendering high-quality output to automatically remove noise. Use the upscaling mode to increase the frame rate and responsiveness in interactive rendering

Support for Anima4d assets. We’ve partnered with AXYZ to provide support for its high-quality 3D library of animated 4D people and crowds.

Extended animations. Take even more .vrscene animation effects into Vantage. From flickering and fading lights to animating the tiling offset, your animated materials, textures, and lights now work seamlessly in Vantage.

Light creation and placement. You can now create various types of lights directly in Vantage. Use the advanced placement options to achieve lookdev directly in Vantage without any DCC dependency.

Scattering fog. Set the mood for your scenes with realistic environmental effects such as god rays, light shafts through windows, streetlights, with volumetric fog with realistic light scattering.

Quality presets. Quickly choose between quality and interaction speed with a single slider, allowing you to set Vantage for high-quality rendering or faster feedback.

NVIDIA RTXDI. Add plenty of dynamic lights to your scene without worrying about performance or resource constraints. Vantage implements NVIDIA RTXDI with its Direct light reservoir sampling feature.

HDR Monitor support. Make your projects extra radiant with HDR monitor support.
Nested .vrscenes. V-Ray scenes can now be referenced via the VRayScene object allowing sharing of the entire scene between different V-Ray integrations.

Orthographic cameras. Easily create top-down or facade renderings with the orthographic camera projection.

Support for Mesh Lights. Turn any geometry into a direct light source for even more artistic lighting. Mesh lights are now rendered much faster than before.

Camera grouping with states override. Enjoy a much better and more structured method of grouping cameras and assigning states to these groups. Perfect for over-the-shoulder discussion with clients.

Support for multiple UV channels. Enrich your projects by creating sophisticated materials such as stacking labels or adding decals with newly added support for multiple UV channels.

Refreshed UI. Vantage 2 gets a facelift. Enjoy a refreshed user interface with a modern look and feel.

Support for AMD GPUs. Vantage can now run on DXR-compatible AMD graphics cards.
