#AIUpscaler #V-Ray #Corona #ArchViz #ChaosAI #Enscape #RenderingSpeed
Available now on Chaos Cloud Collaboration, the AI Upscaler allows users of Enscape, V-Ray, Corona, and Envision to elevate their renders to crisp, high-resolution masterpiecesโup to an impressive 16K.
This smart feature makes subtle but powerful upgrades to your final image:
- Sharpens facial features and clothing textures.
- Refines subtle details like leaves and tree bark.
- Improves the overall realism of your final image.
It's super simple: just add the VRayEnhancerData render element, and your enhanced image is automatically saved as a new version for easy comparison.
