Once processed, the materials are returned with a ‘.vrscan’ file that arrives ready to render in V-Ray - Chaos Group’s photorealistic lighting and rendering software. VRscans materials are superior to standard BRDF approximations and implements BTF (bidirectional texture functions) to completely capture a material's true surface appearance, texture data, and unique response to light. With this method, companies can now send in their material samples, trusting that the results will be the most accurate representation of a digital material. In the past, when using digital graphics to prototype projects, approximations have been made and forced artists to spend countless hours getting 90% of the way there. Now they can match the material sample in their hand with the one in their 3D model.” Peter Mitev, CEO at Chaos Group, commented: “We’ve dedicated the last 19 years to advancing rendering technology, so designers can trust what they see on their screen. The VRscans Library works with the VRscans plugin in V-Ray for 3ds Max and more materials will be added over time.

Gain access to over 400 materials, captured with our patented scanning technology. For a limited time, you can try it free for 30 days. Using this new patented technology, designers and manufacturing firms can instantly take advantage through VRscans, Chaos Group’s new full-service material scanning business, to produce accurate visual representations of material samples. VRscans Library is now available for 3ds Max. Graphics company, Chaos Group, has announced a new scanning technology that can produce an exact digital replica of a physical 3D material with sub-mm precision.
