About Snapshots by Chaos

Snapshots is Chaos's AI post-processing tool that sits on top of V-Ray and Corona renders. After a render completes, Snapshots analyzes the scene and suggests compositional improvements: adjusting depth of field, correcting exposure, suggesting foreground elements. Its most powerful feature is the AI entourage system — it can automatically populate an empty render with correctly-scaled, correctly-lit people, vehicles, and trees drawn from the Chaos library. The figures are composited with proper shadow casting and color matching to the render's light conditions. This eliminates one of the most time-consuming parts of post-production visualization work.

Pros

  • Automates post-processing steps
  • AI entourage adds people realistically
  • Integrates directly with V-Ray
  • Saves hours of Photoshop work

Cons

  • Only works within Chaos ecosystem
  • Entourage library limited vs Lumion
  • New product — still maturing
