What is Veras?
Veras is a Chaos AI rendering tool that turns 3D models, sketches and images into rendered images and short videos from text prompts and presets. Chaos lists it for Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks, Forma and Allplan.
Who it's for
Chaos aims it at architects, interior designers, BIM teams and design firms that want to produce many visualization variations quickly. The vendor pages do not position it for general-purpose image generation outside design tools.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- Chaos lists the host platforms as Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks, Forma and Allplan.
- Chaos lists these uses: sketch to image, 3D model to image, image to video (5-second animations), and 2D floor plan to 3D perspective.
- Chaos says an image-to-3D-model feature sends native, editable geometry to CAD and is available for Revit, SketchUp and Rhino.
- Chaos says users can edit specific areas of an image and change materials, finishes or styles with text prompts instead of rebuilding the model.
- Chaos offers a Named license (one person, usable on any device with a Chaos login) and a Floating license (a shared pool for team users).
- Chaos says the 14-day trial has no upfront charge, includes technical support and learning resources, and can be canceled up to one day before it ends.
Limitations
- There is no ongoing free plan: the free option is a 14-day trial, after which billing starts automatically. The trial offers a Named license only; Floating licenses are available after converting to a paid subscription.
- Output is metered in credits. The Named license page lists 100 credits shared by images and videos (about 10 images or about 10 videos), and Chaos says credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over.
- Chaos says using AI credits voids the right to a refund. Its support article says new subscriptions can request a refund within 14 days of purchase, subject to eligibility criteria that were not readable.
- Chaos pages describe the $348 a year price as an introductory offer and say Chaos may change prices, plans and the credit system at its discretion; prices exclude taxes.
- Chaos pages disagree with the earlier short profile: the Starter, Pro and Ultra tiers with 500, 2,000 and 6,000 credits were not found on the pages read, and the Chaos shop page shows monthly prices of $2900 and $4400 that look misprinted.
Plans and pricing
- Free trial: $0 for 14 days. Not a free plan. Named license only, with no upfront charge. Chaos says the trial includes all features, support and 20 video renders; a banner offers up to 4 free models through October 30, 2026.
- Named license: $348 billed annually (about $29 a month). One person, any device with a Chaos login. 100 credits a month shared by images and videos. The shop page shows a monthly price of $2900, which looks misprinted.
- Floating license: $528 billed annually (about $44 a month). Shared among team users, first come first served with usage monitoring. Credit amount not stated on the page read. The shop page shows a monthly price of $4400, which looks misprinted.
- Chaos Credits top-up subscriptions: $99.60, $303.60 or $609.60 billed annually (Reported). Extra credits for Chaos products: 250, 1,000 or 3,000 credits a month, floating license, credits do not roll over. The headline prices ($830, $2530, $5080) appear to be missing decimal points; whether these tiers work with Veras was not stated.
Prices were read from the Chaos Veras trial page, the Veras landing page and the Chaos shop page, all excluding taxes. The main chaos.com/veras page could not be fetched, so the Starter, Pro and Ultra tiers in the earlier profile were not re-verified and are removed. The shop page says monthly and annual options exist but shows only misprinted monthly figures. Confirm on the live pricing page.
