Want 10% off Chaos Products? https://chaos.cello.so/uxFWJiegyOr Veras 4.5 has arrived, and this update introduces some of the most practical AI-powered tools we’ve seen yet for architectural visualisation. In this video, I walk through every major new feature in Veras 4.5 and show how they fit into a real-world Enscape to Veras workflow used by architects, building designers, and ArchViz professionals. I’ll cover: ✅ Smart Selection by Material, Object & AI Categories ✅ AI-Powered Material Replacement ✅ Faster Rendering Performance ✅ New Gallery Sharing & Collaboration Tools ✅ Background Removal for Presentation Boards ✅ AI Image Description & Prompt Generation ✅ Improved Sketch & Markup Tools ✅ Workflow Improvements for Architectural Presentations One of the biggest improvements is the new Smart Selection feature, allowing you to isolate and modify specific materials directly inside Veras without extensive Photoshop work. Combined with an Enscape render, this creates a significantly faster Enscape to Veras workflow for developing photorealistic architectural imagery. I also test the new AI Describe Image tool, which can generate prompts from reference images and dramatically speed up style development for exterior visualisations. Whether you’re producing client presentations, DA submissions, marketing imagery, competition renders, or concept visualisations, these updates can help streamline your architectural rendering workflow. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:10 Smart Selection Tools 01:17 AI Material Replacement 02:20 Gallery Sharing Features 04:04 Background Removal Tool 04:49 AI Describe Image 06:27 Sketch & Markup Improvements 07:21 Rendering Performance Improvements 07:38 Final Thoughts If you enjoyed this video, make sure to subscribe and let me know in the comments: How are you using Veras in your Enscape workflow?
