Chaos Vantage 2 Update 5 released

Chaos has released update 5 for Chaos Vantage 2, its real-time ray-traced platform. The update introduces support for virtual reality headsets, allowing users to explore projects from a first-person perspective with head tracking and rendering capabilities.

The update also includes support for animated vegetation, where a wind parameter can be used to enable compatible Cosmos vegetation assets to sway. Another addition is rounded edges, which smooths sharp edges to eliminate unrealistic hard lines.

Partial opacity is another notable feature in Vantage 2.5. It allows users to adjust per-object transparency, enabling smooth transitions between opaque and transparent states. This is particularly useful for creating effects where objects need to appear or disappear gradually.
