The VrScan we got back looks and behaves just like the real thing. We had some physical samples sent to Chaosgroup for scanning, some metal trim which would be nearly impossible to create in a traditional workflow. This enables a high level of accuracy for visualizing real-world materials in renders. It is hard to describe, you have to test it to see the difference. Chaos Scans is combination of a hardware-based scanning system and a software-based rendering plugin that work together to easily create material properties for creating realistic renderings without the usual workflow of texture maps and tweaking shader settings.

On some black plastic scan for example, you can accurately render the grain pattern, also the distinctive color shift of the coating. Built on Chaos Group’s industry-leading technology, V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp simplifies the design process for architects and designers, offering photorealistic visuals and easy-to-use controls from concept to construction.
#Vray scans update#
The amount of detail in these is incredible. Chaos Group has released V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, the latest update to their professional rendering plugin. We use it all the time for stuff like floor carpets in cars, fabric ceilings, leather seats, carpaint, you name it.

The flake pattern, the orange peel in the clear coat is all there in the VrScans, you don't have to set up anything by hand.įor simple stuff like chrome the difference is negligible, but the more complex the material gets, the more advantages the VrScans have. Sure, you can do the same with the stochastic flakes, but it is much more time-consuming to get it looking right. Over 270 of Foilcos foils have been painstakingly scanned in true-likeness and uploaded onto the Chaos Scans Material Library, a digital materials hub that.
