Chaos Upates Maya, Houdini, Vantage
Users can now assess 3D assets at production quality throughout the layout, look-dev and previs process.
Chaos has built instant feedback into the viewport, connecting Maya and Houdini to Chaos Vantage’s real-time path tracer. Artists can now assess 3D assets at production quality throughout the layout, look-dev and previs process.
A new, standalone Chaos Vantage Hydra Delegate for Houdini plugin streams fully path-traced pixels directly into the Houdini viewport, so artists can make decisions using the same controls and workflow they employ every day. An Enhanced Live Link enables Maya users to access a similar viewport experience inside Maya. With recent support for USD and MaterialX scenes in Vantage, artists can also use the same assets and shaders from throughout the production, ensuring consistency at every stage of the process.
Available in the latest Chaos Vantage 3 update, these features also coincide with updates to V-Ray 7 for Houdini and V-Ray 7 for Maya, which bring new production capabilities to both applications.
V-Ray 7 for Maya, update 2 ,and V-Ray 7 for Houdini, update 2, are available now for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Vantage 3.1 and the Vantage Hydra Delegate for Houdini are also available. To use the Hydra Delegate, artists will need a Vantage license and to download a special build from the website. This Delegate does not require a V-Ray license or V-Ray to operate.
Users can buy these licenses individually or access them all as part of Chaos M&E Collection, which comes with V-Ray, Vantage, Phoenix, Player, Anima, Cosmos and Scans in one subscription. Pricing for all options can be found here.
