The world of architectural visualization is rapidly evolving, and with Chaos Envision 1.1, it’s taking a massive leap forward. This update isn't just a feature release; it's a full-fledged workflow upgrade designed to make your scenes more immersive, intelligent, and lifelike than ever.

Whether you’re focused on landscape architecture design, urban planning, or the rendering of architecture at any scale, Envision 1.1 introduces tools that can dramatically enhance the way you communicate your designs.

Bring Your Scenes to Life with Realistic Traffic Simulation

One of the most groundbreaking updates in Envision 1.1 is its traffic simulation system, a game-changer for anyone looking to create vibrant, dynamic environments.

Forget static streets. With Envision’s Anima integration, you can now simulate authentic traffic behavior: vehicles obey real-world rules, smoothly navigate intersections, and even interact with pedestrians. The system takes care of complex animations like spinning wheels, suspension movement, and terrain adaptation, all with automatic collision handling for seamless results.

No animation expertise required. Simply drop in your roads, define routes, and Envision does the rest. Plus, with extensive vehicle color editing, you can make your cityscapes or residential communities feel truly lived-in.

Why Animated Vehicles Matter in Architectural Rendering

Animated vehicles do more than just “look cool.” They enhance spatial understanding and bring movement that conveys scale, purpose, and daily life.

Imagine presenting a new civic center, residential development, or urban park. Instead of explaining traffic flow, parking layouts, or road access, you can show it. Clients instantly grasp how the space works and how cars enter, circulate, and interact with pedestrians. It’s architectural visualization at its most intuitive.

This added realism is especially valuable for landscape architecture design, where context, circulation, and scale are crucial to a successful presentation.

Intuitive Proximity Sensors for Smarter Interactions

Want to go beyond moving cars? Envision 1.1 introduces proximity sensors, an elegant solution for adding responsive elements to your scenes.

Trigger animations like automatic doors, elevators, or sliding panels when people, vehicles, or cameras get close. These interactions aren’t just eye candy; they make your walkthroughs feel more interactive and immersive, helping your audience feel like they’re inside the design.

Work Smarter, Not Harder with Render Queue and Batch Rendering

Rendering is often one of the most time-consuming steps in the design process. Envision 1.1 changes that with batch rendering and render queue automation.

Now, you can line up multiple camera views, animation sequences, or design variations and let Envision render them in the background. No more repetitive clicking. No more missed frames. Just efficient, consistent, and high-quality output, especially when paired with Chaos AI Enhancer for post-processing in the cloud.

This is a major boost for architectural teams working on tight deadlines or client presentations.

Better Materials, Better Control

This update also brings enhancements to your material workflows:

• Support for normal maps
• A bump map toggle
• More control over glass transparency

These may sound like small tweaks, but they go a long way in achieving photorealistic results in your rendering of architecture.

Coming Soon: Navigation Presets for Your Favorite 3D Tools

In an upcoming release, Chaos plans to introduce navigation presets tailored to popular 3D modeling tools like Enscape and 3ds Max. This means less time adjusting to new controls and more time refining your scene with a familiar feel.

Part of the ArchDesign Collection

Chaos Envision is now part of the ArchDesign Collection, alongside Enscape, Veras, and Enscape Impact. It’s a comprehensive toolkit designed to streamline the entire architectural workflow, from early conceptual renderings to final delivery.

Rendering with Real-World Context

Chaos Envision 1.1 doesn’t just improve how we render; it changes how we think about presenting designs.

With lifelike vehicle motion, interactive sensors, and workflow enhancements, architects and designers can now craft visual stories that feel real, responsive, and ready to explore.

Whether you're creating a master plan, designing public infrastructure, or diving deep into landscape architecture design, this update is all about realism, control, and impact.

Ready to level up your architectural visualization? Try Envision 1.1 and show your audience what it really feels like to step into your design.
