Chaos has released Vantage 3.0 in beta, introducing initial support for USD, MaterialX, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and volumes in the real-time ray tracing renderer.
For VFX artists, Vantage 3.0 is another significant release, since it adds initial support for both the USD and MaterialX standards.
Users can now import and render both static and animated USD scenes – Vantage supports .usd, .usda, .usdc, and .usdz files – with MaterialX shaders.
That opens up the possibility of using the software in non-V-Ray-based pipelines.
