Today I will tell you about one tool for generating images which is increasingly used in the workflow of designers: Veras. What makes this tool particularly interesting is his native integration with design software such as Revit, Sketchup, Rhinoceros and Vectorworksguaranteeing an intuitive and optimized workflow for professionals in the sector.
Let’s see what it is, the main features, subscription plans and some examples of use.

Things Veras
Veras is one Architectural display platform powered by artificial intelligencedeveloped by EvolveLab and recently acquired by Chaos, a leading company in the software sector for viewing and rendering. Unlike other generative solutions, Veras works directly on 3D modelsgenerating Views consistent with geometries and architectural context. It is not limited to interpreting textual prompts, but transform complex models into captivating imageswith a customizable style and suitable for the different phases of the project.
The opportunities offered by Veras
- Reduced rendering times: quick generations without compromise on the quality and degree of reality of the images obtained.
- Agile design iteration: quick experimentation of stylistic variants of representation thanks to the intuitive management of the platform.
- Integration Seamless: Direct compatibility with the main BIM and CAD tools, guaranteeing a minimum learning curve.
- Stylistic consistency: the function Render from Same Seed ensures uniformity between different images produced.
Verascosts and licenses
Veras offers several subscription options to adapt to the needs of professionals and companies, starting from a minimum of $ 49/month. They are also available affiliated educational licenses For students, as well as licenses for instructors and universities.
As anticipated, in the last few days EvolveLab was acquired by Chaos. To celebrate this event, one is active Promotion with a 25% discount on annual licenses Of Veras and the Evolvelab Suite using the code Chaos25.
Veras it is available with the same features too in web version appwith one Free 30 -day trial.
Experiment with Veras
Veras offer three methods of use – Explore, He composed And Edit/Refine – Each with specific parameters to check and customize the images produced:
- Explore: starting from the set 3D view, you can Change the display style of the image. It is preset styles And in this mode it is only possible to choose which to apply or check the size of the image.
- He composed: allows the control of multiple parameters to manage the composition of the image.

- Edit/Refine: used for make specific changes to parts of the image already generated.
Key functionality of Veras
- Geometry Override Slider: allows you to check the degree of adherence of rendering to original geometry of the model, allowing both faithful representations and more creative explorations.
- Material override: allows you to decide if keep the original materials of the model or overwrite them To explore new combinations of textures and colors.
- Strength prompt: determines how much the final result adheres to the text prompt provided during the generation of the image. It is therefore important to balance the Strength prompt with other parameterslike the Geometry overrideto obtain the desired result. This command acts both on the positive and negative prompt.
- Render selection: offers the possibility of Select specific portions of the image to apply targeted changesfacilitating the iteration on particular details without altering the entire project.
- Render from Same Seed: allows you to generate variants of a rendering using the same “Seed” (seed), maintaining consistency between the different versions. This function is particularly useful for exploring different design options starting from a common base, guaranteeing stylistic uniformity in presentations.
