Overview

What is Chaos Cloud?

...

Chaos Cloud is a software as a service (SaaS) which allows you to submit and render scenes with cloud-based V-Ray. You can concentrate on designing and creating your scene, and Chaos Cloud will take care of installing and maintaining everything necessary to run V-Ray, without hogging your hardware and software. It V-Ray Cloud is our new rendering service, offering a remote way to render your jobs fast and on the go, using our dedicated cloud machines. V-Ray Cloud is available for all 3D platforms compatible with V-Ray. Its interface is accessible by a web browser. 

Rendering in V-Ray Cloud is Chaos Cloud is pretty simple and straightforward. All that is required is to have installed the V-Ray Chaos Cloud Client application installed, after which you can access V-Ray CloudChaos Cloud's web-based interface and submit jobs to it directly from your host 3D software application. Once in the cloud, you are able to monitor the progress of your currently submitted jobs, queue up subsequent jobs, as well as change job settings and resubmit jobs without even opening a scene - right from your phone.

What is supported?

...

Chaos Cloud supports rendering still images and animations. Still images can also be optimized for virtual reality (VR). If VR is enabled, Chaos Cloud will generate a responsive web page for reviewing the result on VR headsets such as Google Cardboard. You can render scenes using Progressive or Bucket render mode, depending on the scene setup in the 3D application.

At the moment, Chaos Cloud supports and renders scenes utilizing both the V-Ray CPU and V-Ray GPU engines.

The output image types you will be able to download by rendering in Chaos Cloud are JPG and the file type you have specified in your scene’s settings. These settings are customized in the 3D application you use for designing your scene. If you don’t specify anything in the 3D application, Chaos Cloud will generate an EXR image besides the JPG.

Chaos Cloud is available for all 3D applications supported by V-Ray via vrscene file export (e.g. V-Ray for Cinema 4D). Chaos Cloud also integrates directly with V-Ray for SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, 3ds Max, Modo, Blender, Houdini and Maya. The Chaos Cloud client app is available for Windows 64-bit, macOS 10.9 or later, and Linux 64-bit.

To start a render job, submit a scene through the client app. If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud will start rendering your job. If there are no free resources, your job will join a queue and will start rendering automatically when resources become available. By default our notification service will send you an email if your job status changes from "In Progress" to "Completed" or "Failed". You can unsubscribe from these notifications from the Chaos Cloud portal options. Chaos Cloud also has in-app notifications in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

You will find your ready images in the Job Details page on the web portal, or you can download them with the corresponding command in the Chaos Cloud Command Line Interface (CLI): “ccloud job download --id --output”.
