This page provides information about submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud from V-Ray for Revit.

 

Overview 

Submit render jobs to Chaos Cloud easily and directly from V-Ray for Revit's interface. 

Chaos Cloud requires installation of the Chaos Cloud Client application. For more information, please visit the Installation of Chaos Cloud Client page.

Adding a new version of a previously submitted job is quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match the client app uploads only the changes. This is useful for making a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud while working on them.

Submitting Render Jobs

V-Ray for Revit provides in-built integration with Chaos Cloud, allowing for submission of render jobs to the cloud directly from Revit, using the dedicated Render in Chaos Cloud button. The button is located on the V-Ray Ribbon. To see how batch rendering works in Chaos Cloud, check the Batch Render page.

  

Select the Render in Chaos Cloud button to send the currently opened scene to Chaos Cloud for analysis.

 

If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud starts rendering your job immediately. If there are no free resources, your job joins a queue and starts rendering automatically when resources become available.

Submit your jobs alternatively through the Standalone Chaos Cloud application and any command-line interface. For more information, please visit the Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud page.

 

 

Footnotes

  • Currently, rendering of animations is not supported.

  • .vrimg is a Chaos proprietary file format used by the V-Ray Frame Buffer to store the rendered image incrementally (bucket by bucket) while rendering in full floating-point format, with all available render elements. It is used as a render output but it is not recommended to use it as a texture file format. VRIMG contains metadata, i.e. render statistics. It supports dynamic bucket size.
