Page History

This page covers the basics of licensing Chaos Scans and its compatibility with V-Ray and Corona.

Overview

...

Chaos Scans plugin is available with V-Ray and Corona installations and allows the use of Chaos Scans downloaded from Chaos Scans Material Library. To tweak a Scans material in a scene, a separate license for the Chaos Scans plugin must be available through your Chaos License account.

In V-Ray 6 and later, the Scanned Material doesn't require an additional render license. In V-Ray versions earlier than V-Ray 6, rendering Scanned Materials requires a separate license, otherwise images render with a watermark.

License Setup

...

Chaos Scans is licensed the same way as Corona and V-Ray, and uses the Chaos License Server. The Chaos Scans license is visible in your existing Chaos license account.

For more details on how the Chaos Scans plugin is able to utilize the Chaos License Sever, please see the Licensing page.

Installing VRscans

VRscans does not need to be installed and is already installed with the typical V-Ray installation. VRscans does need a separate license for that plugin specifically, however, as its license is different than that of V-Ray itself. More information on licensing VRscans is found here.

VRscans Platforms

VRscans is installed with V-Ray on the following platforms:

• V-Ray 3.0 for Maya
• V-Ray 3.0 for 3ds Max
