Software developer Chaos<\/a> has unveiled a new suite of AI-powered<\/a> tools aimed at architects, designers, and visualization specialists. Among the announcements, made by the company at Autodesk University 2025, is the unveiling of Veras 3.0<\/a>, the developer\u2019s AI-powered visualization tool.<\/p>\n

Designed particularly for AEC workflows<\/a>, Veras uses generative AI to transform sketches, 2D images, and 3D models into realistic renderings and animations. The tool caters to the industry\u2019s growing adoption of generative AI in the design process, with an AIA report<\/a> from 2024 finding that 50% of firms were using AI-powered image generators, and 16% were using AI-powered video generators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A separate report<\/a> by construction technology company Procore this year found that over half of construction leaders expect artificial intelligence to disrupt the industry by addressing long-standing inefficiencies. Also this year, research by\u00a0Oklahoma State University<\/a>\u00a0found that AI software was capable of accelerating learning by design students.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Veras 3.0 update by\u00a0Chaos allows users to transform static renderings into animations using simple text prompts. Unlike general-purpose AI video tools, Veras is designed specifically for AEC, integrating natively with design software such as Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp, and can take 3D models as well as 2D drawings and images as inputs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to creating AI-rendered design ideas and style variations, users can add camera movements, atmospheric effects, and time-of-day changes directly within their existing workflows. Motion can also be introduced through vehicles and digital people, giving designers the ability to turn still images into animated narratives without switching to dedicated video platforms.<\/p>\n

Veras 3.0 is available as a standalone tool and as part of the Enscape Premium and ArchDesign Collection Suites. In addition to individual and bundle licenses, the company also provides educational pricing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs AI continues to transform the AEC industry, Chaos is paving the way with responsible AI tools designed to serve as creative companions for architects, designers and visualization artists, while ensuring that they retain control and ownership of their work,\u201d said Iveta Cabajova, CEO of Chaos. \u201cWe\u2019re leveraging AI to help AEC professionals address everyday design challenges, amplify their capabilities, boost efficiency and unlock new ways to explore and create faster than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release of Veras 3.0 follows other recent AI integrations into Chaos\u2019 visualization suite. The company has lately expanded the integration of its AI Enhancer, which automatically transforms flat renders of people and vegetation into photoreal elements. First introduced in Enscape in 2024, the AI tool is now available in Corona and V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max, with support for additional V-Ray integrations coming soon.<\/p>\n

The company also recently launched the\u00a0AI Material Generator, a tool that transforms real-world photos into reusable, physically-based materials that can be stored in Chaos Cosmos. Currently available in Corona and V-Ray for 3ds Max, the tool will soon be extended to other Chaos products, including V-Ray integrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AI Enhancer saves me time by refining images instantly, reducing the need for extra post-production,\u201d said Agnieszka Klich, co-founder, Arch Viz Artist, about their experience with the software. \u201cWhen I don\u2019t have textures available online, the Material Generator lets me quickly create a material without disrupting my workflow. Both tools make the process faster and more creative, which is exactly what I value in Corona.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest tools by Chaos were displayed at Autodesk University 2025, which took place in Nashville, TN, this week. Among the representatives at the event was Chaos’ director of product management Bill Allen, who previously joined Archinect’s Niall Patrick\u00a0Walsh for a panel discussion<\/a> on AI’s impact on architectural visualization.<\/p>\n

Chaos also used Autodesk\u00a0University 2025\u00a0to preview several new AI tools and upgrades soon to join the company\u2019s suite. Among them are the addition of advanced user controls to the AI Enhancer, which will give users more options for refining people and vegetation. The new controls include tools to help target people for specific demographics and moods, and provide finer enhancement control over specific areas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, AI Mood Match improvements will allow users to match complex lighting and environment settings automatically to a reference image, removing the need for manual sky and sun adjustments, while an AI Material Recommender will see the introduction of an AI-powered material search within Chaos Cosmos to offer context-specific recommendations, making it easy to find the right material scheme.<\/p>\n

Other upgrades include an AI Upscaler allowing users to generate higher-resolution renders for free by enlarging outputs up to four times higher while preserving photorealistic quality, as well as Cylindo Quickshot, a purpose-built tool for furniture. Quickshot seeks to allow users to easily turn standard product images into photoreal lifestyle scenes, preserving detail and scale and delivering on-brand visuals.<\/p>\n

The infusion of AI throughout Chaos’ suite exemplifies a new era in architecture’s relationship with technology; one explored extensively through our Archinect In-Depth: Artificial Intelligence<\/a> series. As part of our editorial series, AI expert Matias Del Campo authored an op-ed<\/a> in which he noted that \u201cmachine learning applications are getting increasingly embedded into off-the-shelf software,\u201d adding that \u201cthe integration of AI in architecture has the potential to create a more collaborative and inclusive design process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our series also included an interview<\/a> with popular visual artist\u00a0Alexis Christodoulou, who offered an insight into how artificial intelligence was changing his own approach to image production. \u201cIn the right hands, AI is a great tool for extending our research capabilities,\u201d Christodoulou told us, adding that \u201cit is a great companion tool that has to be embraced for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This post is brought to you by Chaos Software developer Chaos has unveiled a new suite of AI-powered…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":237868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[648,1032,1033,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-237867","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-design","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115228646333604044","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
