The new chaos player joins the V-Ray collection


The chaos added Chaos player, its fast-loading image sequence reader, a V-ray collection, giving artists and designers access to 15 high-end display products from a single license. To further enhance animation and visual effects workflows, the feature set is expanding to include floating point compositing, A / B wipe, OpenColorIO (OCIO) v2 support, and more, making a fast product even more in tune with the needs of high-end productions.

"When it's time to review the animation, you don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops to see it in action," said Alexander Yolov, product manager at Chaos. "With Chaos Player, both animators and supervisors can play high-resolution sequences almost instantly, so they can make decisions on the fly."

Chaos Player (formerly Pdplayer) offers smooth playback of ultra-high definition image sequences, so 3D artists, animators and supervisors can quickly review and approve animations. Today, Chaos Player supports all industry standard image formats, including multi-channel EXR renderings, and offers live multilayer compositing, interactive color adjustments, and collaborative markup tools in a single standalone application.

"Chaos Player is part of our daily workflow for almost any project that comes to our door, as it always saves us time, whether we're working on feature films or streaming content from Netflix and HBO," said Dmitry Vinnik, director Silhouette Pictures technician. “The ability to load multiple 4K multichannel EXR sequences simultaneously and cycle through levels is absolutely crucial for our team. At each stage there seems to be another little feature that helps, whether it's changing aspect ratio or converting files. Everything comes back ".

Chaos Player allows users to compose, color and edit layers while playing.

Chaos Player now includes:

  • Floating point composition - Supports layered compositing of 32-bit, high dynamic range image sequences with real-time playback.
  • A / B wipes - Animators can now compare up to four versions of a live playback shot.
  • MP4 video support - Edits, compositions and frame sequences can now be exported to MP4.
  • OCIO v2 support - The latest version of one of the most commonly used color management solutions from visual effects now has full support in Chaos Player.
  • High DPI interface - The user interface is now fully compatible with high density and high resolution displays.
Review the output of your or your team's animation playing right after the rendering is finished; see new and updated frames instantly in Chaos Player.

Chaos Player is now available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. It can be purchased through an annual subscription, priced at $ 99, or through V-Ray Collection, an annual plan that gives users full access to 15 Chaos products and services for $ 699 per year.
