Why should I use Chaos Cosmos?
Chaos Cosmos Platform delivers a curated library of high-quality 3D render-ready content, which adapts to the users' workflows.
Can I modify Chaos Cosmos objects?
What is the difference between the web page of Chaos Cosmos and the Cosmos browser in the host apps?
Chaos Cosmos Library, which can be opened from https://cosmos.chaos.com/, allows you only to browse through all assets without downloading them.
You can access the Download and Import options of the Chaos Cosmos Platform either from within the host platforms or by opening http://localhost:30305/ after the V-Ray installation is finished.
How much does Chaos Cosmos cost?
All Chaos Cosmos assets are free of charge and can be downloaded and used in any host platform of V-Ray 5 where Cosmos is integrated.
Will users be able to share their own assets?
To ensure quality and consistency, Chaos works with selected asset creators. Currently, the list has the following prominent vendors and will expand with time:
- Design Connected - Furniture & Accessories
- Hum3D - Vehicles
- Maxtree - Vegetation
- NoEmotion - HDRIs
- Renderpeople - People
- VIZPARK - Vegetation
Will I be able to organize my own library/assets?
Not for now. The purpose of Chaos Cosmos is to deliver high-quality render-ready assets to V-Ray users. Chaos Cosmos is not a tool for internal organization.
Will Chaos Cosmos 3D models be available in all render formats?
Cosmos assets are in user native V-Ray formats - .vrmesh for geometries and .vrmat formats for materials. On import, they are converted to V-Ray proxies with the appropriate materials associated.
In addition, Cosmos assets contain different LODs (or representations), suitable for display in different contexts. Each Cosmos integration uses these LODs to provide the best user experience. For example:
- the highest asset LOD will be used in the Host app viewports
- the second-highest asset LOD will be used in Chaos Vision - either Medium or Low, depending on the asset
- the lowest asset LOD will be used for assets far in the background
What naming convention does Chaos Cosmos use?
Chaos Cosmos follows a name convention that aims to create unique and meaningful names of assets and maps.
Do the assets come with light and studio setups?
No.
