Veras by EvolveLAB
Veras by EvolveLAB is an AI-assisted visualization app that plugs into Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Archicad, Vectorworks, Autodesk Forma, and a browser workflow, and it turns model views or uploaded images into styled renders using prompts, geometry weighting, and region edits rather than a full offline path tracer alone.
Veras targets design teams that need fast option images without building a classic material-and-lighting rig for every review. The public EvolveLAB page positions Veras as an AI visualization app that uses your model or image as a substrate, lists host support across SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Forma, Archicad, and Vectorworks, and points commerce and downloads through Chaos account flows (EvolveLAB, 2026).
Feature marketing highlights a geometry override slider to balance strict model fidelity against freer image invention, a render-selection workflow to repaint part of an image with a new prompt, reuse of the same random seed for controlled iteration, and a web app path for image-to-image work when you cannot install a host application. Those capabilities sit closer to generative image tooling than to a single-engine GPU ray trace, though teams often pair Veras with other viz stacks on the same project.
Licensing is subscription-based through Chaos for many customers. EvolveLAB publishes indicative list tiers on its site, including about fifty-nine US dollars per month on a monthly named-user plan, about six hundred twelve US dollars per year for a floating license billed annually, and about one hundred forty-nine US dollars per year for an eligible student annual plan, plus a trial that includes thirty renders across fifteen days (EvolveLAB, 2026). Taxes, bundles, and regional quotes can change the invoice, so treat numbers as a starting point only.
Because outputs are AI-driven, studio leads should set standards for client deliverables, disclose when imagery is synthetic, and test how much geometric drift your QA process allows on construction-bound work versus early ideation.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Fast iteration for early design communication without full material setup
- Broad host list plus a browser option for non-desktop workflows
- Controls for geometry fidelity and local edits reduce one-size-fits-all output
- Trial and student plans lower risk for individuals and schools
Cons
- Subscription cost adds up for large seat counts; enterprise needs a quote
- AI imagery can drift from authoritative model data if sliders and prompts are loose
- Not a substitute for contract documents or code-checked deliverables
- Depends on vendor GPU and policy uptime for cloud-backed runs
Key features
Host integrations: Published support spans SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Autodesk Forma, Archicad, and Vectorworks builds listed on the vendor page.
Geometry override slider: Shift between strict adherence to the model and freer visual invention.
Render selection: Mask an area, apply a new prompt, and rerender only that region.
Same-seed rerenders: Hold a random seed while changing text prompts for controlled studies.
Web app: Image-to-image flow in the browser when a desktop host is not available.
Chaos-backed licensing: Purchases and trials route through Chaos download and shop pages linked from EvolveLAB.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Veras cost per month?
EvolveLAB lists about fifty-nine US dollars per month for a named license on a monthly bill, about six hundred twelve US dollars per year for a floating license when billed annually, and about one hundred forty-nine US dollars per year for a qualifying student annual plan. Chaos may show different bundles or tax-inclusive totals at checkout, so read the live cart.
Is there a free trial for Veras?
The EvolveLAB page advertises thirty renders and fifteen days of trial access through the linked Chaos download flow. Confirm the current trial limits on Chaos before you plan a workshop.
Does Veras work with Revit on Mac?
Revit itself remains Windows-first for most AEC teams. Veras also lists SketchUp and Vectorworks on Windows and Mac, plus a web app, so Mac-heavy shops often run Veras through those hosts or the browser rather than through Revit.
Can Veras replace Enscape or V-Ray for construction documents?
Veras is built for quick AI-directed imagery and exploration. Traditional renderers still matter when you need physically based lighting studies, repeatable material libraries, and drawing-adjacent accuracy. Use Veras where speed and variation help; use conventional viz where precision rules.
What is the geometry override slider?
It biases output toward or away from your modeled form. Lower settings keep massing closer to the BIM; higher settings let the model act more like loose inspiration. Your standards should say how far you allow that drift on fee-bearing deliverables.
Where do I buy or renew Veras?
EvolveLAB links to Chaos for buy, download, and subscription management. Keep license receipts with your other software assets so IT can reconcile seats during true-up.
