This page provides information about the Cosmos tab in Chaos Envision.


Overview


The Cosmos tab gives access to the Chaos Cosmos library, allowing you to browse, place, and render ready-made 3D assets. The assets are organized into categories such as Furniture, Accessories, People, Vegetation, Vehicles, HDRIs, and more.

The Cosmos tab provides similar features to the Chaos Cosmos Browser, available through File > Open Cosmos Browser. Find more information on the Chaos Cosmos Browser page.

The Cosmos tab is accessible in the bottom dock panel when you click Cosmos ().



Workflow


To use the Chaos Cosmos library:

  • Expand the bottom panel and click the Cosmos () button to open the Chaos Cosmos library.

  • Select an asset and drag it into the viewport. This initiates a downloading process.
    Once the asset is downloaded, it is visible in the viewport, so you can scale, rotate and move it.

  • Alternatively, you can right-click on an asset and select Download selected before dragging the asset into the viewport.
    All imported assets are visible in the Meshes tab of the Objects left-hand side panel tab. Their parameters are visible in the Details right-hand side panel tab.
