Introducing Chaos Vantage.


Explore your most complex 3D production scenes ray traced in real-time. With Chaos® Vantage, there are no time-consuming conversions. Simply drag and drop your complete V-Ray scene into Vantage and start exploring. There’s also a direct live link available from 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, and Cinema 4D, so you can use it just like a viewport.


Chaos Vantage requires an NVIDIA RTX series GPU.

Zero setup.

Drag and drop your V-Ray® scene into Chaos Vantage and start exploring. Unlike other real-time solutions, there’s no geometry to optimize, UVs to unwrap, or lighting to bake.

Chaos Vantage is built to handle huge scenes with billions of polygons and high res textures. It’s the fastest way for you to see your most detailed V-Ray scenes in real-time.

Easy to navigate.

Navigating your scene is easy. Use controls similar to your 3D app, or move around just like playing a game. Walk up stairs and avoid walking through walls with automatic collision detection.
