How AI is used

V-Ray is a rendering solution used to create photorealistic images and animations from 3D models. It is part of a broader ecosystem from Chaos that includes tools for real time design and AI-driven ideation.

The software is designed for architects, interior designers, VFX studios, and product designers. It supports the process of turning sketches and 3D models into high-quality visuals for client presentations or film production.

Buyers can use V-Ray across several host platforms, as it integrates with various industry-standard CAD and BIM software. This supports a connected flow between design work and rendering.

Before choosing V-Ray, buyers should confirm their host platform and whether they require photorealistic output or a real time design companion, as different tools in the Chaos ecosystem serve different stages of the design process.
