This page provides answers to some frequently asked questions about Chaos Cosmos.

What is Chaos Cosmos?

Chaos Cosmos is a content system enabling Chaos to deliver consistent, smart, high-quality 3D content across the Chaos ecosystem, starting with the free Cosmos Library.

Why should I use Chaos Cosmos?

Chaos Cosmos Content System delivers a curated library of high-quality 3D render-ready content, which adapts to the users’ workflows. The Chaos Cosmos assets are a perfect tool for architects and interior designers to get a quick start on their projects. Interiors can be decorated with the help of furniture, accessories, and indoor plants. Context and scale can be established for exterior scenes by utilizing vegetation, cars, and people. Our render-ready assets save you time and enable you to achieve stunning visualizations with minimum effort. The content is curated by Chaos and ensures consistent high-quality of all models. You can use the same 3D asset across the different supported V-Ray products and render engines which ensures the continuation of design decisions without the need for time-consuming conversions.

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.

Cosmos Browser allows you to Download and Import assets from within the host platforms.

What types of assets are there in the Cosmos Libary?

The complimentary library currently includes vegetation, furniture, accessories, lighting fixtures, vehicles, people, and HDRI skies. The collection is curated with a fairly western contemporary design aesthetic for furniture and accessories, with vegetation most common to North America and Europe.

Is the Cosmos Library free?

Yes. The Cosmos Library is included for free as part of Chaos products that include Cosmos. 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.

Can I use the Cosmos Library offline?

The Chaos Cosmos Browser requires an internet connection as it is always showing you what is currently available. Cosmos assets downloaded to your computer require Cosmos for insertion, so an internet connection is still required even if you are not downloading anything new. Cosmos assets inserted in your scene no longer require an internet connection.

Did Chaos create the Chaos Cosmos assets?

Chaos teamed with some of the world’s leading 3D content publishers to populate the Cosmos Library.

Will more assets be added to the Cosmos Library in the future? When?

We are planning to extend the complimentary Cosmos Library throughout 2021 as additional V-Ray products include Cosmos. You can even request additions through the Cosmos forum.

Can I use Cosmos assets commercially?

You are free to use Cosmos assets commercially as long as your usage is within the rights of the EULA you accept when installing your Chaos product that includes Cosmos.

Once I get Cosmos assets, can I keep them for an indefinite time?

Yes. Cosmos assets are yours to keep once they are inserted into your scene.

Can I use the Cosmos assets when I download a trial version of V-Ray?

Yes. Downloading a trial for a Chaos product that includes Chaos Cosmos gives you access to the full Cosmos Library.

Can I use the Cosmos Library in a shared network setup?

The Chaos Cosmos browser currently supports any form of network install, including mapped drives, UNC paths, Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive. It also supports network setup.

Which Chaos products support the Chaos Cosmos asset library?

Chaos Cosmos is currently included in V-Ray 5 for Revit and Update 1 of V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, V-Ray 5 for Rhino. Chaos Vantage will include Cosmos very shortly. You can expect to see Cosmos come to additional Chaos products throughout 2021.

Are Cosmos assets supported in V-Ray Vision?

Yes. V-Ray Vision renders the Cosmos assets at all three levels of detail depending on how close your camera is to them.

Can I use Cosmos assets with Corona Renderer?

Corona does not currently include Chaos Cosmos. We are working to add Cosmos to Corona in the future.

Can I use Cosmos assets with third-party renderers?

Third-party renderers will work with Cosmos assets as well as their own support/conversion of V-Ray materials, lights, and proxies allow them to.

What format are the Cosmos assets?

Each Chaos product imports Cosmos assets as best suits their users. In the case of 3ds Max, an imported Cosmos asset is a V-RayProxy object that uses native V-Ray materials. In the case of SketchUp and Rhino, the Cosmos asset begins as a “black box” reference that can be merged to become a V-RayProxy for editing.

Do I need specific hardware to visualize the Cosmos assets in my viewport?

No. The Cosmos assets have three automatic levels of detail that adapt based on what viewport you use to visualize them in. The lowest level of detail ensures that Cosmos assets are clearly visible in the native viewport of your creation tool.

What does automatic level of detail (LOD) mean and is it that important?

Cosmos assets include 3 levels of detail (low, mid, and high) that enable lightweight viewing in modeling viewports, medium detail in V-Ray Vision, and full detail in V-Ray. This approach keeps the host application nimble while modeling and sacrifices nothing for final rendering.

Are Cosmos assets “to scale”?

Yes. Cosmos assets respect the system unit set in your scene to deliver objects at the correct scale, and all Cosmos models are in proper scale to one another.

What does render-ready mean?

Render-ready for Chaos Cosmos assets means that no setup is required to render properly across V-Ray, V-Ray GPU, or V-Ray Vision. You will also obtain the same results across products that include Comos even though their material construction may vary to accommodate the application.

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 I be able to create my own custom libraries?

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

Are Chaos Cosmos 3D models 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
• t he lowest asset LOD will be used for assets far in the background

Are materials in Cosmos assets editable?

Yes, you can edit an asset’s materials. Depending on the creation tool, there are two forms of material editing. In V-Ray for 3ds Max, you can immediately edit the resulting V-RayProxy object and its V-Ray materials. In V-Ray for SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit common characteristics of the Cosmos assets are editable such as material color, and the light intensity of lighting assets. You can then choose to do advanced editing by merging an asset to expose its full V-Ray material. If you do so, however, part of the functionality of the assets such as the automatic LODs might be lost.

Are the Cosmos assets animated?

Chaos Cosmos assets do not contain animation.

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?

Where can I find my downloaded assets?

Finding downloaded assets is easy by using the Chaos Cosmos browser and choosing the Show downloaded only option.

By default, the downloaded assets are saved locally at the following directory: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages.

Do I need to set up the V-Ray Proxy associations?

No. The proxy associations are already made and ready for use when you insert your asset from Cosmos.

Can I assign different materials or even VRscans to Cosmos assets?

Yes. You can assign new materials to merged Cosmos assets as you can to a standard scene geometry.

Does Chaos Cosmos work with V-Ray Next for Revit, Sketchup, Rhino and 3ds Max?

No. The Chaos Cosmos Browser is integrated into V-Ray 5 for Revit and Update 1 of V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, Rhino, and 3ds Max.

UI path: ||V-Ray Toolbar|| > Chaos Cosmos icon

Installation

Chaos Cosmos Browser is part of the installation of V-Ray and does not require any other specific actions. You can access the downloadable content of the Chaos Cosmos Platform from within the host platform after the V-Ray installation is completed.

Usage

To start using the Chaos Cosmos, you have to sign in. Press the Sign in button at the top-right corner and enter your Chaos credentials.

Then you can use the buttons at the top or use the search tab to find assets.

Once you choose an asset, you have to download it. Hover over it and click on the blue icon at the lower-right corner.

Another way to download an asset is to click on it. This reveals additional information. You can see the creator, the category/space/color of the asset, and other additional information. Note that you can see other connected assets by clicking on any of the additional information parameters.

Once the download is complete, a pop-up window will state that the asset is downloaded successfully.

You can either drag & drop the asset into the viewport and place it wherever you want in the scene, or you can use the Import button functionality to bring the asset into the center of the scene.

The Import button places the asset at 0,0,0 of the coordinates system.

Note that assets can be reused across different host platforms. They are saved locally at the following directory: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages. The download storage can be configured. For more information on how to do it, refer to the Configuring the Asset Download Directory page.

Navigation bar

Navigation toolbar is accessible only inside V-Ray for 3ds Max 2019 and newer. Due to browser limitations, there is no plan to port the Navigation toolbar in older 3ds Max versions.

The Import options are accessible in 3ds Max 2018 and older versions from the dropdown button in V-Ray Toolbar instead.

Loads the Chaos Cosmos Browser home page.

Goes to the previous page.

Returns to the last opened page.

Opens the following Import options:

Place imported materials in the compact material editor — Switched off by default. When enabled, the material of the imported Chaos Cosmos asset is added in the Compact material editor.

Keep geometry orientation independent of the target viewport — Imports the selected asset aligned to World space in the scene.

Activate 3ds Max placement tool when asset is imported — Activates the Select and Place 3ds Max tool, which is used for placing assets in the viewport. The option eases the placing process, as it allows snapping to other geometry in the scene.

Note that the Cosmos geometry is imported as VRayProxy. You can refer to the Proxy Mesh for additional information.

Lights

Cosmos lights are imported as a hierarchy — the VRayProxy, which holds the geometry of the Cosmos asset, is a parent to the respective VRayLight.

This means that moving or rotating the geometry, keeps its VRayLight together with it.

HDRIs

The HDRI assets create a Dome Light with a VRayBitmap attached to it.

If a VRayLight (Dome) is already present in the scene, the drag & drop option creates a new VRayBitmap attached to it. Note that the cursor should be placed on the light itself when drag & dropping.
