VERAS is an AI-powered visualization application that generates images from 3D models and sketches, available as a plugin and web app.

VERAS is an AI-powered visualization tool developed by EvolveLAB, now part of the Chaos ecosystem. It functions as a plugin for popular design authoring applications like SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Archicad, Vectorworks, and Forma, and also offers a standalone web application. The tool leverages AI to transform 3D models and sketches into various visual outputs, allowing designers to explore different ideations and refine their projects. Key features include a Geometry Slider for adjusting the adherence to the original model's geometry, a Render Selection tool for targeted image modifications, and a "Render from Same Seed" option for maintaining consistency across design iterations. The web app extends its functionality, enabling users to upload images or sketches for AI-driven transformations without requiring specific BIM software installations.
