Chaos is an ecosystem: one set of tools to move from idea → assets → photoreal rendering → real-time presentation → simulation → delivery. The “product line” makes more sense when you see it as a workflow stack rather than isolated apps.
Chaos “Collections” are curated bundles meant to cover common production workflows. Think of them as pre-built stacks: rendering + assets + real-time + (sometimes) simulation and cloud features.
Built for architectural design teams: real-time visualization, AI-assisted ideation, and presentation-friendly output.
For high-end architectural visualization pipelines that need flexible control, broad host support, and scale.
For ArchViz artists who want speed and simplicity—plus real-time exploration without rebuilding scenes.
Chaos also offers collection-style licensing for VFX/animation pipelines. On NOVEDGE you’ll find it within the Chaos catalog alongside the renderer tiers and companion tools.
If Collections are the bundles, these are the core apps you’ll see again and again in Chaos workflows.
V-Ray is Chaos’ flagship production renderer—built for photoreal quality, control, and integration across many host applications. On NOVEDGE, V-Ray commonly appears in a tiered structure (Solo vs Premium) and inside V-Ray-focused collections.
Corona is the renderer built specifically with architectural visualization in mind: fewer knobs, faster onboarding, and reliable realism. Premium tiers unlock deeper ecosystem features (materials, sequence playback, and simulation support).
Enscape is Chaos’ real-time visualization tool for design workflows—built to keep you inside your modeling environment and iterate quickly. Premium tiers expand collaboration and feature depth, and add-ons like IMPACT focus on early-stage building performance insights.
Enscape increasingly connects to Chaos Cosmos (assets) and AI enhancements (where available), making it a strong “hub” for teams that want speed and presentation-ready visuals.
Veras is an AI visualization app integrated into popular design tools (and web workflows) to generate design variations and upgrade presentation imagery quickly—without rebuilding the model or scene.
Vantage is designed to let you explore complete V-Ray/Corona scenes in a ray-traced real-time environment—minimizing conversions and workflow friction. It’s a common “bridge” between offline rendering and real-time client review.
Envision is positioned as a presentation-focused tool inside the Chaos ecosystem—built to help teams communicate design intent, craft narratives, and present work smoothly across stakeholders.
These tools expand what you can do inside your renderer/real-time workflows: effects, crowds, better materials, and scalable compute.
Phoenix is Chaos’ dynamics simulator for creating physically-based effects—especially relevant for VFX and for ArchViz scenes that need realism (mist, fire, liquid, etc.).
Anima provides animated humans and vehicles (and crowd tools) so you can populate architectural and urban scenes quickly and convincingly.
Scans is the material library: scanned, real-world surfaces ready to apply to your models. It’s a simple way to raise realism fast—especially for closeups and hero shots.
Cosmos is Chaos’ asset library—3D models and materials designed to drop into scenes quickly. It appears across multiple Chaos tools and is a key “glue” layer: if you want faster scene building, Cosmos is often the first add-on that pays for itself.
Chaos Cloud is the on-demand compute layer: send rendering jobs to the cloud when you need more throughput, faster turnaround, or a simpler way to collaborate and deliver results without managing local render farms.
Here’s a practical way to choose without overthinking it.
