Chaos Vantage 3, the first major update to the real-time visualization platform in more than two years, enables AEC professionals to drop their designs directly into digital replicas of real-world locations, add realistic environmental effects, refine materials with true-to-life lighting, and visualize every detail in real time without sacrificing speed or quality. Vantage 3 introduces USD and MaterialX support, adding new tools to explore designs in a real-world context and refining materials and lighting with greater control.
With Vantage 3, AEC users can now make the most of Gaussian splats that are part of their V-Ray Scene files. Instead of relying on costly scans or hand-built models, creators can quickly turn photos or scans of objects, streets, or entire neighborhoods into editable 3D scenes. New volumetric rendering enables the addition of fog, smoke, and light rays, while the Night Sky system introduces astronomically accurate stars, moon phases, and even the Milky Way for striking exterior views.
Vantage 3 leverages the Chaos AI Material Generator, available directly inside the Chaos Cosmos browser, and a new material editor, giving AEC users precise control over the look of a scene, down to the smallest detail. The fully integrated Chaos Cosmos, the largest curated 3D asset library for AEC professionals, adds ready-to-use assets—from people and vegetation to furniture—while support for USD unlocks the entire KitBash3D library of production-ready assets.
Additional features include:
- Camera tracking
- Extended texture support
- New render mode
- Offset animation
- Scatter clustering
- Selection mask (View Mode)
