Chaos Vantage 2.8 has officially arrived—and it’s a game-changer for real-time rendering artists and visualization professionals. This latest update brings significant performance gains, precision lighting tools, and enhanced realism features that empower you to visualize your scenes faster and more beautifully than ever.

Whether you're working in architectural visualization, product design, or VFX, Chaos Vantage 2.8 delivers the performance and control you need to bring your artistic vision to life.

What’s New in Chaos Vantage 2.8

Shader Execution Reordering (SER) – Up to 80% Faster Rendering

Chaos Vantage 2.8 introduces Shader Execution Reordering (SER) support for NVIDIA’s Ada and Blackwell GPUs, delivering performance boosts of up to 80%. Whether rendering in real-time or offline, this update significantly reduces render times—perfect for speeding up iterations without sacrificing quality.

Light Linking – Precision Lighting for Perfect Control

Now you can control exactly how each light interacts with individual objects in your scene. Light linking lets you include or exclude specific lights on a per-object basis, making it easier to craft focused lighting, isolate highlights, and control shadows with pinpoint accuracy.

Lens Effects – Bloom and Glare for Cinematic Quality

Add bloom and glare camera effects to simulate real-world light behavior in your renders. With customizable parameters like coloration, size, intensity, aperture shape, and saturation, you can give your scenes a polished, cinematic look.

Parallax Shader – Create Depth Without Geometry

Using the new parallax shader, you can simulate interior spaces like rooms or displays without modeling extra geometry. Apply it to flat surfaces like building facades or shop windows to give the illusion of 3D depth—saving time while enhancing realism.

Temporal Consistency – Stable Scatter Across Frames

Maintain temporal consistency in animations by locking scattered elements to a reference frame. Scattered instances follow natural surface motion, ensuring that motion blur or jitter doesn’t disrupt your visuals across frames.

Switch Material – Compare Variants Without Rebuilding

Chaos Vantage 2.8 makes look development even faster with the new switch material feature. Easily swap between material variants for quick comparisons without needing to recreate or reassign shaders.

Why Upgrade to Chaos Vantage 2.8?

Chaos Vantage 2.8 gives you everything you need to work faster and with more precision—without adding complexity. Whether you’re rendering in real time or preparing final outputs, this update lets you:

  • Accelerate workflow with performance enhancements
  • Control lighting interactions at a granular level
  • Add realism with cinematic camera effects
  • Enhance details without modeling extra geometry
  • Maintain visual consistency in animations
  • Test materials quickly during look development
