VRscans Plug-in - Subscription

Here are some of VRscans Plug-in's key features:

EASY TO USE

VRscans require no prior material-building knowledge, or use of reference materials.

SEAMLESSLY TILEABLE

VRscans materials repeat without joins.

CUSTOMIZABLE

Fine-tune the appearance of materials directly in Max or Maya.

BUILT FOR V-RAY

Render with V-Ray 3.5 or higher, the industry's leading renderer for VFX, product design and architectural visualization. Now available in Max and Maya, and coming soon for Sketchup and Rhino.

PHYSICAL MATERIALS

Render a wide variety of physical materials including plastic, leather, stone, metal, wood, and fabric.

CAR PAINTS

Simulate the look of highly-detailed car paint, complete with orange peel and clear coat.

REFLECTIVE & HOLOGRAPHIC MATERIALS

Render complex reflective and holographic surfaces.

TRANSLUCENT MATERIALS

The industry's first technology capable of scanning & rendering translucent materials.

The process begins with a scan of an existing real-world object surface. VRscans Plug-in uses BTF (bidirectional texture functions) instead of BRDF approximations (such as Phong, Blinn, Ward, etc) to capture a material's true surface appearance, texture data, and its unique response to light. All this information is then stored in a unique VRscans Plug-in material format. This scanned material is then read in to the CG scene using the VRscans Plug-in and is ready for rendering through V-Ray without much (if any) additional tweaking required to match the original scanned material's surface.

Step 1. Send materials to be scanned

Clients provide Chaos Group with one or more physical material samples.

Step 2. Materials are evaluated for scanning

Chaos Group's lab techs evaluate each material to determine if it's suitable for scanning. If not, the material will be returned at no charge.

Step 3. Materials are scanned

Each material is carefully scanned by one of Chaos Group's expert lab techs. Once the scan is complete, the resulting images are transformed into a seamless, tileable file. And after passing inspection and strict quality control, the material scans are ready for delivery.

Step 4. Scanned files are delivered

Files are delivered by private FTP link or physical drive. Additional courier fees may apply.

Step 5. Material samples are returned

Chaos Group understands that materials may be proprietary or copyrighted, and all samples are promptly returned to the client.
