Last updated: 2026-11-12

Veras is an AI visualisation tool by Chaos for architects. It generates images and videos from your model, sketches or prompts, and can change materials and facades while keeping your massing. It works inside Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad and other design tools, and on the web. Outputs are AI-generated, so check details against the design.

## 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?

1. **Details.** Check materials, openings and context against the design.
2. **Data terms.** Read Chaos's FAQs on ownership and project data before using it with client models.
3. **Credits.** Estimate credit use on a test project before choosing a plan.
