Last night on BIM After Dark Live, I sat down with Bill Allen from Chaos (formerly EvolveLAB) to walk through the newest Veras updates… and honestly, this might be the biggest shift in AI-assisted visualization we’ve seen in AEC so far.
Here’s what we discussed:
• Veras is now integrated directly inside Enscape
Real-time to AI-enhanced renders without exporting, snipping, or jumping between tools.
• Select-by-Object + Select-by-Material
Finally—controlled AI editing. Swap a car, update materials, or refine a portion of a render without rebuilding the whole image.
• Image Interrogation + User Presets
Veras can now describe your image, reverse-engineer the stylistic prompt, and turn it into a reusable preset. Massive productivity boost for teams.
• Brand new Image-to-Video generation
Turn any still render into a 5-second animation—seasons changing, lights turning on, people walking. Zero animation skills required.
• The big one: a new Nano-Banana render engine
This new engine is a game-changer. Cleaner geometry, fewer artifacts, better retention of design intent—and for the first time, 2D inputs can generate 3D-looking outputs.
Not perfect yet… but the trajectory is undeniable.
If you’re curious where AI visualization is truly heading for architects, designers, and VDC teams, this episode is worth the watch.
