How do Connected Workflows work?

Chaos uses a standardized file format, .vrscene, to improve compatibility among its visualization tools. This file format contains all the necessary information for a project, including models, assets, lights, and materials. It allows designers to transfer their projects easily between various CAD applications like SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, and DCC software, as well as 3D design software like 3ds Max and Cinema 4D.

Thanks to this interoperability, you can take advantage of advanced visualization features in V-Ray, speed up architectural design, and enjoy smoother collaboration across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. This means you can start a project in a CAD application, refine it in 3D design software, and then create photorealistic renders with V-Ray—all without losing any information or functionality.

Effortlessly transfer scenes from Enscape to V-Ray

In the following video, discover how easy it is to move data from Enscape to V-Ray. This streamlined process lets you refine and add intricate details to turn real-time designs into sophisticated, high-end visualizations. You can keep your original design choices and maintain continuity from concept to final render, allowing you to focus on bringing your creative vision to life without losing valuable time.

Elevate Your Render Quality

Real-time rendering is great for continuous design and quick iterations, but it often comes at the expense of render quality, with limitations in lighting accuracy and complex material effects. Achieving higher-quality renders beyond what real-time engines offer can be difficult because of locked visualization data.

With Chaos’ interoperability, architectural designers can:

• Access advanced visualization by transitioning from the real-time solution Enscape to the photorealistic V-Ray within popular tools like SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit.
• Improve your scenes with accurate lighting, realistic materials, and over 4,500 high-quality assets from the Chaos Cosmos library.
• Easily export a .vrscene file from Enscape, using the vrscene (Beta) export feature, and send it to a visualization expert without losing any design details.

If you prefer real-time rendering but find yourself limited by scene size or need ray-traced quality, Chaos’ connected workflows offer a seamless transition to more robust visualization tools like Chaos Vantage.

Connected Workflows for Visualization Specialists

Speed up workflows while maintaining design intent.

Artists often spend a lot of time converting data from other projects into their visualization tools. This typically involves dealing with multiple software platforms, leading to tight deadlines and interruptions to their creative process.

With Chaos’ interconnected visualization tools, artists who use V-Ray, a photorealistic solution, can:

• Collaborate more easily with Enscape designers and support their visualization efforts.
• Save time spent recreating designs and focus more on creativity.
• Use the .vrscene importer (Beta) to import complete Enscape models into 3ds Max or Cinema 4D without losing visual accuracy.
• Further enhance the project with V-Ray, adding creative touches without changing the original design concept.

For V-Ray users seeking an immersive experience and quicker design iterations, Chaos Vantage is the perfect addition. It provides high-quality real-time visualization, eliminating complex setups and ensuring true lighting and rendering with 100% ray tracing.

All-in-One Solution

Working with different visualization vendors on the same project can cause all sorts of problems, like compatibility issues, inconsistent visual quality and style, and increased costs.

With Chaos’ comprehensive suite of interoperable visualization solutions, architectural teams can:

• Speed up workflows by using a mix of real-time and photorealistic tools for quicker design iterations.
• Collaborate easily on design projects from beginning to end.
• Use Chaos for all their visualization needs, avoiding expensive subscriptions with various vendors.
• Keep a consistent quality and style across all projects.
• Get rid of the hassle of managing multiple visualization tools and vendors.
