V-Ray is built for the biggest challenges in production with the speed and stability you need, no matter the scale.
Balance speed and quality based on the stage of your project.
Seamlessly integrated tools for every stage of the visualization process.
Realism is easier and faster to achieve than ever before with AI workflows built for precision and flexibility.
Start rendering for free in seconds.
V-Ray is fast and reliable and can handle anything you throw at it.
V-Ray is rock solid, no matter what you apply it to. We've used it on everything from Thanos to Terminator and we get a consistent output back every time. As we continue to push the boundaries of CG characters, we need tools that can keep up. V-Ray has been there for us every step of the way.
V-Ray is the only rendering solution that is altogether easy to learn, visually flexible, stable, and scalable. That's why we've been using it for over 10 years.

V-Ray is a 3D rendering plugin that integrates seamlessly with industry-standard host applications such as 3ds Max, Maya, SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema 4D, and Houdini. You will need a licensed installation of your preferred host platform to use V-Ray.
V-Ray is designed with both an accessible "out-of-the-box" setup for beginners and deeply customizable parameters for expert users. Thanks to automated features, standard presets, and extensive free learning resources at Chaos Academy, most users can produce high-quality, photorealistic renders within a few days of starting.
Yes, Chaos offers comprehensive Educational licenses for students, educators, and institutions at highly discounted rates. Educational options grant access to full product capabilities for non-commercial learning and porting projects.
While Enscape is optimized for instantaneous, real-time design walkthroughs during the early modeling phases, V-Ray is built to handle heavy production workflows, ultra-photorealistic rendering, complex global illumination, and sophisticated animations. If you need both, the ArchViz Collection includes both tools in a unified ecosystem.
V-Ray 7 brings built-in AI tools including AI Material Generation, AI Mood Match for lighting style transfer, and the AI Enhancer for detailing characters and vegetation. These tools leverage specialized cloud computing powered by Chaos Credits.
Yes! With our latest updates, V-Ray supports native importing and production-grade rendering of Gaussian Splats, enabling artists to blend scanned real-world data directly into clean 3D environments with accurate light interaction.
Chaos Credits are a single, unified currency that allows you to access premium cloud-based features across the entire Chaos ecosystem from a single account. You can use your monthly credit allocation for Chaos Cloud Rendering, AI Enhancer / AI Upscaler tasks, and Veras AI ideation.
The credits included with your Solo (100), Premium (500), or Collection (1500) plans are intended to fully cover standard static image generation, AI ideation, and occasional cloud renders. For heavy production-grade animation sequences, you can easily scale up and purchase additional high-volume Chaos Credit packs as your project demands.
Credits bundled directly inside your annual or monthly V-Ray subscription are allocated fresh every month and do not roll over. If you purchase additional add-on credit packages, those are considered "perpetual credits" — they remain in your account balance and never expire, as long as your primary account remains active.
Chaos Credits are designed to expand the capabilities of your existing desktop software ecosystem. Because features like cloud rendering and cloud AI tools interact directly with your local V-Ray scene geometry and materials, an active product license is technically required to authenticate, secure, and process these cloud outputs from your account.
We want you to evaluate our tools safely. However, please note that our standard 14-day money-back guarantee applies only if the included cloud credits remain completely unused. Incurring any cloud computing costs or utilizing AI features voids the right to a license refund. Please refer to our full refund eligibility guidelines for detailed case studies.
Chaos AI is our overarching umbrella brand for all artificial intelligence workflows built directly into our software ecosystem (like the AI Material Generator). Veras AI is a specific, advanced architectural ideation engine powered by Chaos that runs inside the cloud using your unified Chaos Credits balance.
