In V-Ray 5 for Revit, Chaos introduced its first 3D content library, Chaos Cosmos, now filled with over 1,300 free render-ready models and HDRIs that reduce the process of populating environments to a few clicks. Two new controls have been added: thin-walled for materials like single-sided glass and volumetric subsurface scattering for realistic marble, plastic and wax. V-Ray Material improvements - With the updated V-Ray Material, users can quickly create transparent and translucent materials.This is a fast and memory-efficient way to create realistic scenes and detailed environments. With full control over size, orientation and density, these models can be placed on any surface or terrain.

Scatter - The new scattering tool makes it easy to distribute models of plants, trees, cars and other entourage items, including models from Chaos Cosmos.

Whether it’s applying a photoreal V-Ray material or replacing a low-resolution model with a fully detailed one, replacement overrides bring more control to the creative process, without disrupting the original files.

Linked document replacements - For the first time, Revit users can render and replace objects and materials from linked documents with a higher-fidelity version.

New features help users do more within Revit, so architects can visualize design decisions without distractions or technical delays. Now users can manage more complex models, make hassle-free updates to linked documents and scatter entourage for more realistic renderings without leaving Revit. LOS ANGELES - FebruToday, Chaos releases V-Ray 5 for Revit, update 2, bringing new visualization powers to architects who want to see how their choices play out in real time and beyond.
