Chaos Envision
Chaos Envision is a real-time 3D tool designed to help architectural visualization professionals create dynamic, realistic scenes quickly and easily. In this tutorial, he walks viewers through the basics of importing models, setting up animations, and building compelling visual stories that bring designs to life.
With an intuitive workflow, Envision helps you transition from a BIM or CAD file to an interactive animation environment in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional methods. See more Boris FX CrumplePop Pro
Features of Chaos Envision
- Architectural realism.
- 100% ray-tracing in real-time
- Enjoy physically accurate lighting, reflections, shadows, and global illumination while supporting scenes that can grow into the trillions. This ensures unmatched visual fidelity without relying on screen-space tricks or raster-based shortcuts.
- Complex scenes
- Handle richly detailed scenes with trillions of polygons while maintaining real-time performance and ray-traced quality. The engine behind Envision efficiently manages intricate geometry, high-resolution content and dense environments, without compromising speed or stability.
- Immersive environment
- Combining volumetric effects, animated vegetation, and high-fidelity assets with dynamic camera controls, Envision delivers a rich sense of depth, atmosphere, and spatial context in architectural scenes.
- Lifelike characters
- Hyper realistic 4D people and smart vehicles (coming soon), driven by behavior-based movement, make it effortless to create complex crowd and traffic simulations that seamlessly follow real-world rules and intersection dynamics.
- Animation
- An intuitive timeline that coordinates camera movements, environment changes, and scene variations. With an easy-to-learn workflow and user-friendly interface, creating cinematic animations is fast, effortless, and visually striking.
- Creative control
- Object-level manipulation of referenced scenes and included assets enables extensive customization of materials, positioning, behaviors, and more, giving artists greater flexibility and reducing dependence on creative teams.
- Add high-quality details instantly.
- Library
- Through a deep Cosmos integration, Envision has a growing collection of up to 12 000+* high-quality, ready-to-use 3D assets, including furniture, vegetation, people, and vehicles, as well as HDR images and materials that quickly add believable detail to interior or exterior scenes.
- People
- Hyperrealistic, AI-powered 4D and 3D people with lifelike facial expressions and movement, available in diverse ethnicities, outfits, activities, seasons, and genders, ready to bring dynamic, social realism to your architectural scenes.
- Cars
- High-quality vehicle models, recognized for their realistic behavior, including wheel spin, chassis roll, braking, and cornering, as well as dynamic responses to terrain features like slopes and bumps.
- Vegetation
- Expand your scenes with an expanding collection of high-quality, render-ready vegetation assets, now including Asian landscapes. Curated in a partnership with Evermotion and Globe Plants, animated, and realistic, they bring authentic detail to any environment.
- Intuitive snapping
- Quickly and confidently position objects with snapping that’s accurate and respects your scene’s layout. Our smart alignment tools minimize manual adjustments and trial-and-error, letting you place multiple objects effortlessly without jitter or confusion.
- Replace Object & Instances Tool (coming soon)
- Quickly swap objects in your scene with alternatives from the project, Cosmos, or custom asset library. Replace a single object or all its instances while preserving position, rotation, and scale.
- Explore every option with no extra effort.
- Assembly
- Combine render-ready content from a variety of creation tools. Envision can assemble .vrscene files with common industry formats (.fbx, .obj, .dae), while also supporting canned animations and audio tracks. Instantly transfer data from Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino via Chaos Bridge, or from any application served by Enscape or V-Ray.
- Continuous design
- Envision visualizations remain linked to the original scenes throughout the entire process, promoting a non-destructive workflow. This persistent connection ensures that updates to the source model, such as changes in geometry, materials, or layouts, automatically propagate into the visualization without requiring a full rebuild, minimizing repetitive work and saving time.
- Path following animations
- Control precisely the movement of individual objects and cameras along predefined trajectories, ideal for animating walkthroughs, flyovers, and complex motions like aircraft, bird, or even conveyor belt systems. Detailed fine-tuning of speed, orientation, and timing ensures smooth, coordinated motion within your scenes.
- Design exploration
- Define as many scene variations as needed in order to research various lighting scenarios, materials, object transformations and visibility settings. Quickly animate transitions between versions to create immersive design reviews such as phasing demonstrations and interactive spatial exploration in full-screen, over-the-shoulder presentations.
- Surround your designs with lifelike context.
- Sky & atmosphere
- Adjust time of day, sun position, cloud density, sky tint, and atmospheric haze to shape mood and ambience. These settings dynamically affect shadows, reflections, and overall scene color, enabling everything from bright daytime to dramatic sunset or foggy mornings.
- Water surfaces
- Create realistic, naturally animated water surfaces. With adjustable parameters for wave motion, surface clarity, reflection, and color, Envision brings oceans, lakes and pools to life with believable physical behavior and visual detail.
- Scatter
- Utilize a versatile scattering tool to easily place trees, grass, shrubs, and rocks in your scene. You can limit tree placement on steep slopes and carve out roadways using splines. A wide range of controls allows you to achieve the precise results you’re looking for.
