This page provides information on the Chaos Vantage toolbar integrated in V-Ray for 3ds Max.


## **Overview**

---

Among the tools it provides are:

- Live Link
- Live Link to Chaos Vantage in the 3ds Max Viewport
- export and send .*vrscenes* from 3ds Max to Chaos Vantage
- import changes from Chaos Vantage to 3ds Max.

The Live Link feature makes it possible to instantly see changes made in V-Ray for 3ds Max without the need to export and import *.vrscenes* in Chaos Vantage.

> ✅ Note that with V-Ray 6, using older drivers (less than 495.xx) on Ampere cards may lead to incorrect render results with RTX.
