Chaos Envision 1.3 Elevates Design Workflows with AI Material Generator and 12,000+ Render-Ready Assets

POSTED 21st OF Oct, 2025, Posted by Summer

We’re excited to share the latest major update from Chaos Envision 1.3. This release brings a wealth of new features designed to make visualization faster, more intuitive, and more realistic. From AI-powered material generation to thousands of new render-ready assets, Envision 1.3 is built to help designers, architects, and visualization artists create richer, more immersive presentations with ease.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new, why it matters, and how these updates can elevate your creative workflow.

What’s New in Envision 1.3

Here’s a breakdown of the headline features and what they could mean for your projects:

1. A Massive Expansion of Assets

One of the standout upgrades: up to 5,000+ new 3D assets have been added to the integrated asset library. These include:

1,300 new people models
2,000 vegetation models
1,800 furniture & accessory models

Thanks to the deep integration with the Cosmos Library (Chaos’s universal asset library), Envision now boasts a growing collection of up to 12,000+ render-ready 3D assets.

What’s more, the vegetation models have been curated in partnership with both Evermotion and Globe Plants and explicitly include regional plant assets inspired by Asia (and other global regions), enabling you to embed cultural and geographical relevance into your scenes. As Globe Plants founder Rio Do comments:

“When selecting models for Cosmos… each plant is chosen for its relevance to a specific climate zone, design aesthetic, or garden style.”

Why this matters for you:

You’ll spend less time hunting for “just the right” model.
You’ll inject your scenes with more local authenticity (especially useful if you’re working in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, or other region-specific markets).
Your visuals can reach higher fidelity with fewer manual adjustments.

2. AI-Powered Speed & Smart Workflow Enhancements

The update pushes forward in the realm of AI material generation and refined asset manipulation. Key features:

AI Material Generator (Beta): Upload a photo of any real-world surface and instantly generate a fully render-ready PBR material (with the maps you need) for use inside Envision.
AI Enhancer — Advanced Controls: Now you can fine-tune people assets (adjust age, ethnicity, and clothing style) or vegetation assets for more natural, photorealistic results. If you import object masks from tools like Enscape, V‑Ray, or Corona, you can apply full-scene enhancements or object-specific edits all within your familiar cloud-collaboration workflow.

Why this matters:

Manual material creation (which used to take hours) is now slashed; your time to beautiful realizations goes down.
You’ll get more consistent results (especially for foliage, characters, and interior surfaces) with less “cleanup” needed.
The combination of rich assets and smart AI tools results in higher visual impact and faster turnaround.

3. Workflow, Navigation & Layout Enhancements

Envision 1.3 isn’t just about more assets and AI; it also refines the experience of working in the tool. Some of the top enhancements include:

Intuitive Snapping: Object placement is now smoother; alignment tools reduce manual adjustment and jitter.
Water Surfaces: You can now create realistic, naturally animated water surfaces (oceans, lakes, pools) with control over wave motion, reflection, clarity, and color.
.vrscene Exporters: From applications like SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, you can export .vrscene files directly and bring full scene data into Envision, keeping links to your modeling tools for seamless iteration.
Navigation Presets: Switch between navigation styles (3ds Max style, Enscape style) to match the way you’re used to working.
Corner-to-Corner Object Creation: Quickly define sized objects by dragging from one corner to another in the viewport, useful for layouts where precision matters.
Coordinate Mode Toggle: Switch between global coordinate systems and object-based axes for smarter object positioning, rotation, or alignment.
Replace Object & Instances Tool: Swap objects (single or all instances) from your scene, Cosmos, or your custom library, while preserving transformation (position/rotation/scale).
Animated Tooltips & Dependency View: Learning the tool becomes faster; hover over a tool to get an animated demo; view object dependencies in a structured list to jump to linked items easily.

Why this matters:

These refinements add up: less friction, fewer manual hacks, and smoother integration with your existing workflows.
For teams and studios working repeatedly (especially large architectural or visualization pipelines), the improved navigation and object tools mean fewer mistakes and faster production cycles.
As you scale your projects (larger scenes, more assets, higher fidelity), these improvements allow Envision to remain manageable, performant, and iterative.

So What Does This Mean for Your Work?

Let’s frame what you can actually expect when adopting Envision 1.3 via Motion Media:

Faster time-to-render: With the asset library expansion and AI tools, you’ll clear many routine tasks faster.
Higher visual impact: Richer assets (especially regionally meaningful models) + AI-enhanced realism = stronger presentations and storytelling.
Better workflow integration: The support for major tools (SketchUp, Revit, Rhino), .vrscene exports, and navigation presets aligns Envision with your existing pipeline and does not force you to reinvent it.
Less manual post-production: With AI Material Generator, AI Enhancer, snapping tools, etc., fewer “fix-this-last-minute” tasks.
Regional relevance: Because the asset library now includes Asia-inspired vegetation & design elements, you can craft visuals that speak directly to your locale, like Southeast Asia, not generic ones.
Simplified purchasing and support: As your local reseller, Motion Media can facilitate licensing, training, and regional support, and you get a partner who understands your market, not just a global vendor.
