It is a tool for creative ideation and rapid visual exploration. Veras offers versatility across design stages, integrates seamlessly with 3ds Max, and provides controls for geometry and material overrides, presets, visual consistency, custom render selection, and more. > ✅ Veras uses **Chaos Credits**. *For more information, see **[Chaos Credits](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/860160024)** documentation.* ## **UI Paths** --- ## **Workflow** --- All access options open the Chaos Veras Visualization window. > ✅ *See the **[Veras documentation](https://documentation.chaos.com/space/Veras)** for extensive workflow information.* The **Viewport to AI Visualization **option opens the Veras Visualization window and sends a viewport screenshot to be used as a generation source. The **Render to AI Visualization** option opens the Veras Visualization window and sends the latest render to be used as a generation source. --- ## **Notes** --- - You might be asked to log in with your Chaos account when opening Veras for the first time. - Note that 3ds Max viewport to Chaos Veras works with fixed-resolution setups and does not consider all resolution sets in the Render Setup settings. - Functionalities that might not work properly with **earlier 3ds Max versions**: -Sending an image from the viewport could be with a changed preview type -Image previewer appears when sending Viewport snapshot to Chaos Veras -Sketch tools(Freehand, Straight line and Curve line) in the Edit tab inside Chaos Veras do not work properly.
