Explore the latest update packed with AI-powered tools, faster GPU rendering, real-time collaboration, and deeper creative control.

V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max just got a serious upgrade, and it’s changing the game for artists, architects, and designers alike. In Update 2, Chaos brings a suite of next-gen tools designed to save time, boost realism, and streamline your entire rendering pipeline, all while keeping your creative freedom intact.

Let’s dive into what makes this update not just incremental, but truly transformational.

AI at Your Service: Smarter, Not Harder

Chaos AI Enhancer (Beta)

Tired of tweaking details long after your renders finish? The new AI Enhancer is a time-saving marvel. It's built right into Chaos Cloud Collaboration and lets you polish renders with just one click, enhancing people, vegetation, and other elements without affecting your core design.

No re-rendering. Just results.

AI Material Generator (Beta)

What if you could turn a real-world photo into a usable PBR material instantly? Now you can. Whether you're filling out background elements or building rich environments on the fly, the AI Material Generator delivers believable textures without the back-and-forth of manual material creation.

Light the Sky with Precision

Creating cinematic night scenes just got easier and more accurate. The new Night Sky feature lets you place stars and moon phases based on real-world time, date, and location. Or, if you’d prefer to guide the mood, you can fine-tune everything manually.

Whether you're building fantasy worlds or architectural night renders, this is your new go-to lighting tool.

Chaos Cloud: Smarter Rendering, Smoother Collaboration

3D Streaming (Beta)

Share your 3D scenes with clients or teammates using just a browser link; no downloads needed. They can view, interact, and provide feedback from any device, including phones and tablets. Real-time collaboration, now in your pocket.

Faster GPU Rendering at Lower Cost

With major upgrades to the Chaos Cloud infrastructure, rendering is now faster and more affordable. You also get support for 24 GB GPU memory, so large-scale scenes are handled like a breeze.

More Artistic Control Than Ever Before

Gaussian Splats Clipping

Now you can easily trim splats in 3ds Max and swap them with detailed models, optimizing both speed and detail where it matters most.

Scatter Clustering

Control scatter behavior using noise patterns, color maps, or painted layers. Whether you're placing grass, rocks, or debris, this gives you pinpoint control over your environment’s layout.

LightMix Expansion

Get even more control over your scene’s lighting. You can now manage up to 256 unique light selects, giving you endless flexibility in complex projects.
