Overview 

Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud can be done easily and directly from V-Ray for Rhino's interface. This page walks you through the steps of doing so. Additionally, you can use Batch Rendering in the Cloud.  For more information, see the V-Ray Batch Render page.

Chaos Cloud requires the installation of the Chaos Cloud Client application. The Chaos Cloud Client can be installed either as a separate installer that can be downloaded from https://cloud.chaos.com/download-client-app or bundled together with V-Ray for Rhino in a single installer. For more information, please visit the Installation of Chaos Cloud Client page.

If you add a new version of a job you have already submitted, its upload will be much quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match the client app will upload only the changes. This is useful when you make a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud while you are still working on them.


Submitting Render Jobs

V-Ray for Rhino provides in-built integration with Chaos Cloud, allowing you to submit render jobs to the cloud directly from Rhino, using the dedicated Render in Chaos Cloud button. The button is located on the V-Ray Asset Editor.

If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud will start rendering your job immediately. If there are no free resources, your job will join a queue and will start rendering automatically when resources become available.

Alternatively, render jobs can also be submitted through the Standalone Chaos Cloud application and any command-line interface. For more information, please visit the Submitting render jobs to Chaos Cloud page.

 

 

Batch Rendering

Section
Column

Batch Render can be directed to use the views and pre-recorded animation from both the current and other existing Rhino projects as well as .vrscene files. Named Views can also be added. They are created using Named Views > Save As... in the Rhino Named View panel. 

Choose as many files, animation sequences or views as needed and use the Image Added button in order to submit the current jobs for rendering in Chaos Cloud.

  • .vrimg is a Chaos proprietary file format used by the V-Ray Frame Buffer to store the rendered image incrementally (bucket by bucket) while rendering in full floating-point format, with all available render elements. It is used as a render output but it is not recommended to use it as a texture file format. VRIMG contains metadata, i.e. render statistics. It supports dynamic bucket size.
