What can Veras do for AEC teams?
| Task | How it helps, and the check |
|---|---|
| Facade and material studies | Generates material and facade options on your existing model geometry, changing only what you specify and keeping the massing. |
| Early design images | Turns a sketch, image or prompt into a rendered image for early client conversations. Label these as concept images. |
| Image to video | Creates short video clips from images for presentations. |
| Working in your BIM tool | Runs inside Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks, Forma and Allplan, and within Enscape, V-Ray and Corona. |
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Works on your own model geometry, so the massing stays as designed.
- Runs inside the design software architects already use.
- A 14-day free trial.
Limitations
- AI-generated details, such as materials and openings, can still differ from the design.
- Credit-based plans, so heavy use needs a higher plan.
- We couldn't find Chaos's terms on output ownership or AI training for Veras when checking this listing.
What happens to your data?
- Chaos's Veras page has FAQs on output ownership and project data handling; read them before using it with client projects.
- Keep client personal data and confidential material out until your firm's AI usage policy approves the tool.
CloudBrain’s view
One of the better AI options for architects because it works on your own model inside your BIM tool. Use it for option studies and early images, check every output against the design, and confirm Chaos's data terms first.
What is Veras?
Veras is an AI visualisation tool from Chaos, the company behind V-Ray, Enscape and Corona. It generates images and short videos from your model, a sketch, an image or a prompt. Its key difference from general image generators is that it can work on your model geometry, changing only the materials or elements you specify.
How do architects use Veras?
- Facade and material options on the current model, keeping the massing
- Early images from sketches for client conversations
- Short presentation clips from images
- Inside existing workflows in Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad and other tools
What should you check before using it on projects?
- Details. Check materials, openings and context against the design.
- Data terms. Read Chaos's FAQs on ownership and project data before using it with client models.
- Credits. Estimate credit use on a test project before choosing a plan.
