Chaos Cosmos Browser
This page gives information about Chaos Cosmos Browser in Revit.
For more information regarding Chaos Cosmos Content System, refer to Chaos Cosmos documentation.
Overview
Chaos Cosmos Content System delivers a 3D content library of high-quality 3D content selected from the rich V-Ray ecosystem. It allows V-Ray users, from their respective V-Ray products, to browse, place, and render 3D assets in their projects. The asset categories span across Furniture, Accessories, People, Vegetation, Vehicles, HDRIs, and more. In addition, the assets work seamlessly in the different Chaos renderers (V-Ray, V-Ray GPU, and Vision) and host apps (3Ds Max, Cinema 4D, Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, Maya and more to come).
UI path
||VRayToolbar|| > Chaos Cosmos icon
Installation
Chaos Cosmos Browser is part of the installation of V-Ray and does not require any other specific actions. You can access the downloadable content of the Chaos Cosmos Platform from within the host platform after the V-Ray installation is completed.
Usage
To start using the Chaos Cosmos Browser, you have to sign in. Press the Sign in button at the top-right corner and enter your Chaos credentials in the newly opened browser tab.
Then, you can use the buttons at the top or use the search tab to find assets.
You can additionally choose between different categories and filters for date, popularity, color, and space. The option to Show downloaded only is also available.
The Navigation Bar, which is available on mouse hover on the browser’s top frame, eases your navigation through the Chaos Cosmos pages. Note that when the page is reloaded, the navigation history is lost.
Once you choose an asset, you have to download it. Hover over it and click on the blue icon at the lower-right corner. Another way to download an asset is to click on it. This reveals additional information. You can see the category/space/color of the asset and other additional information.
Once the download is complete, a pop-up window will state that the asset is downloaded successfully. U se the Import button to bring the asset into the host platform.
Note that downloaded assets can be reused across different host platforms. They are saved locally at the following directory: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages.
Placement
Cosmos objects appear as native Revit families containing a lightweight geometric representation of the object. Depending on the object type itself, those families are either host-based or freestanding.
Modifications
In V-Ray, the Cosmos objects appear under the Appearance Manager > Objects tab as part of the following categories: Entourage, Fixtures, Furniture, Lighting, Planting.
You can modify the Cosmos assets from within the Objects tab.
Scale – Allows you to scale the Cosmos asset.
Rotation – Allows you to rotate the Cosmos asset around its vertical axis.
Similar to proxies workflow, the replacement of native Revit families with Cosmos objects is supported. For more information, refer to the Objects tab page.

V-Ray for Cinema 4D R20 on macOS works with Chaos Cosmos inside the default system web browser instead of the in-app browser.
When using Cosmos assets in distributed rendering, make sure all the machines point to the proper network directory. More information on how to manage the Cosmos assets’ folders is available at Configuring the Asset Download Directory and Moving the Asset Download Directory.
UI Path: V-Ray menu > Cosmos Browser
Installation
Chaos Cosmos Browser is part of the installation of V-Ray and does not require any other specific actions. You can access the downloadable content of the Chaos Cosmos Platform from within the host platform after the V-Ray installation is completed.
Usage
To start using the Chaos Cosmos Browser, you have to first sign in. Press the Sign in button at the top-right corner and enter your Chaos credentials in the opened browser tab.
Then, you can use the buttons at the top or use the Search tab to find assets.
You can additionally choose between different Categories. The option to Show downloaded only is also available.
The filters help you refine your search by date, popularity, color, and space.
Download
When you choose an asset, you have to download it first. Hover over it and click on the blue icon at the lower-right corner. Another way to download an asset is to click on it. This reveals additional information. You can see the category/space/color of the asset and other relevant additional information.
Import
Once the download is complete, a pop-up window will state that the asset is downloaded successfully. The Import button places the asset at 0,0,0 of the coordinates system.
Only the Import button places the asset into the scene, dragging and dropping is not supported yet.
Note that assets can be reused across different host platforms. They are saved locally at the following directory : C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages.
The download storage can be configured. For more information on how to do it, refer to the Configuring the Asset Download Directory page.
Parameters
Note that the Cosmos geometry is imported as VRayProxy. You can refer to the Proxy page for additional information.
The imported Cosmos assets are listed in the Objects tab. They can be identified by the Cosmos icon. They can be renamed and deleted.
Like other proxy objects, Cosmos assets can be converted to full geometry using the Make Editable option.
Lights
Cosmos assets with light sources are listed in the LightMix render channel.
HDRIs
The HDRI assets create a Dome Light with a VRayBitmap attached to it. Dome Lights overexpose a scene, if not viewed from a Physical Camera. When importing an HDRI from the Cosmos Browser, it is recommended to use a Physical Camera to achieve the correct exposure.
Announcement
How change the download location of the Cosmo Browser
Comment
Sorry to say it is not currently possible to change the file path location for the assets. They are saved by default to C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages. There will be a folder created for each asset.
Users will be allowed to change the storage folder through configuration and it is on our to-do lists. Thanks for the understanding and patience!
Comment
..and just as we speak, we’ve released information on How to configure the Cosmos Browser asset download directory (on Windows) 
We are currently working on publishing a documentation article on the matter but we don’t want to keep you waiting.
===========================
When you start downloading Cosmos Assets, these will be saved to a default local directory: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages
Note: Please note that Cosmos assets downloaded previously to the default directory C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages will remain hidden from the Cosmos Browser after the new directory configuration takes effect. So, you need to delete them.
===========================
Let us know if you encounter any problems. The final document will contain details for Mac users as well.
This has been further discussed in the Chaos Cosmos Wishlist section here.

Once the download is complete, a pop-up window states that the asset is downloaded successfully.
You can either drag-n-drop the asset into the viewport and place it wherever you want in the scene, or you can use the Import button functionality to bring the asset into the center of the scene. The drag-n-drop option is available in Windows only.
The Import button places the asset at 0,0,0 of the coordinates system.
Note that assets can be reused across different host platforms.
By default, they are saved locally in the following directories:
For Windows: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages;
For macOS: /Users/[User]/ChaosCosmos/;
For Linux: /home/linuxqa/.ChaosCosmos/Packages
The download storage can be configured. For more information on how to do it, refer to the Configuring the Asset Download Directory page.
