This page provides information about the V-Ray Cosmos Asset in Grasshopper.
Overview
The V-Ray Cosmos Asset component loads Chaos Cosmos assets into Grasshopper. First, download the asset to the local Cosmos database so it becomes visible in V-Ray for Grasshopper. Right-click to Download or Update the asset package or to open the Chaos Cosmos browser.
Input Parameters
Package (Asset ID) – Specifies the Cosmos asset package name or ID and optionally a revision number. The ID is a GUID, the name is the string that is shown in the Cosmos Browser, and the revision is the publish date. The acceptable format is "id-or-name[/revision]".
For example:
- Toaster 001 • cda5a22d-e0f7-48eb-a0d5-1e9631dedbb2
- Toaster 001 / 1614018486 • cda5a22d-e0f7-48eb-a0d5-1e9631dedbb2 / 1614018486
Plane (Plane) – Specifies a plane transformation for the proxy. A list of plane inputs adds multiple instances of the same proxy.
Scale (Number) – Introduces a scale factor for the proxy. A value of 1.0 is used by default. Multiple Scale factors can be used.
Visible (Boolean) – Controls the proxy visibility.
Lights (Boolean) – Enables or disables all light sources in the Cosmos asset.
Intensity (Number) – Multiplies the intensity of all light sources in the Cosmos asset.
Color (Colour) – Multiplies the color of all light sources in the Cosmos asset.
Output Parameters
V Geo (Generic Data) – V-Ray Geometry output that can be connected to a Renderer component.
Context Menu
Preview – Offers different viewport preview representations of the Chaos Cosmos assets.
High – Displays the original mesh in the viewport. Using this option with heavy meshes and scenes might take longer before the mesh is displayed in the viewport and might slow down Rhino significantly. The process is dependent on the poly-count and the representation is quite detailed.
Medium
Low
Bounding Box – Previews are shown as bounding boxes.
Point – Previews the mesh with its own point of origin.
