Chaos has built one of the most advanced rendering tools on the market that's used by 95 of the top 100 architecture firms in the world. And that says a lot.
With V-Ray, you can create renderings that are hardly distinguishable from real photos that will help you win big clients and win competitions.
But for most firms, V-Ray is an overkill.
That’s why we created a quick and easy-to-use V-Ray alternative—MyArchitectAI.
Each tool has a slightly different use case so this page is not meant to diminish the excellent work being done by the team at Chaos but to introduce you to a new class of renderers using AI.
MyArchitectAI created the architectural visualization process from scratch, using the latest AI technology to power its rendering engine.
This led to a dramatic reduction in rendering times and eliminated the need for powerful hardware, unlike alternatives like V-Ray.
V-Ray's reputation is built on its high-quality results, flexibility, and scalability.
It can handle any type of project, from residential interior and landscape designs to large-scale urban designs. It can create anything from static renders to walkthrough videos, panoramas, and VR experiences.
V-Ray's features and the quality of its results make it best suited for firms that:
Despite being a newer addition to the rendering software market, MyArchitectAI has quickly become the go-to renderer for modern studios that prefer a lightweight and easy-to-use V-Ray alternative.
MyArchitectAI is a great fit for firms that:
In short, MyArchitectAI is a great alternative to V-Ray during the conceptualization stage making it easier to communicate design intent to clients and stakeholders without the complexity of its heavyweight counterpart.
V-Ray, on the other hand, excels at producing those ultra-detailed, competition-ready visuals that help you land major clients and stand out in high-profile submissions.
Many modern studios often use both tools strategically - using each one at different project stages to maximize efficiency.
MyArchitectAI lets you render any scene in under 10 seconds. No matter the complexity.
That's thanks to its AI-powered rendering engine that was built from scratch for maximum efficiency without compromising on quality.
Imagine how much more efficient your ideation process will get (and how much your clients will love it).
Unlike V-Ray, which requires expensive hardware to run smoothly, MyArchitectAI lets you visualize your designs on any device and operating system (even Mac and Linux), thanks to being 100% cloud-based.
You get all the rendering power of high-end GPUs without overloading your computer, and no compatibility issues to worry about.
No hardware requirements, no crashes, no headaches.
These features make MyArchitectAI a lightweight V-Ray alternative for anyone.
While both renderers offer monthly and annual plans, MyArchitectAI is a much more affordable alternative to V-Ray.
If you choose an annual subscription, MyArchitectAI is $227 cheaper ($249 vs $476 a year).
And if you go with a monthly plan, MyArchitectAI is over 2.5x cheaper than V-Ray ($29 vs $78 a month). This is especially important for firms that don't have an ongoing need for renderings and prefer a flexible monthly plan then can pause and restart anytime.
And remember, the "cost" is not just the software, it's also training, libraries and productivity loss related to incorporating a heavyweight software like V-Ray into your workflow.

While V-Ray requires significant time investment to understand and adjust the optimal render settings, MyArchitectAI lets you create stunning visuals even if you have no 3D modeling experience.
MyArchitectAI does all the heavy lifting for you, handling all the lighting and texturing automatically.
You're an architect, not a visual artist, so let the AI take care of the manual work for you.
Another benefit of cloud-based software is that they doesn't require any installs.
Just log in using your browser and start visualizing right away. No more compatibility issues or crashes.
MyArchitectAI works with designs from any CAD software making it a great V-Ray alternative for SketchUp and Archicad users, among other tools.
Currently, JPG/PNG files are supported, and source file support will be added soon.

We want to make sure you'll love our renderer. So if you have any questions or need tips on how to get better results, you can reach out to us (Eugenia and Kacper) directly using live chat and email.
And if you still have doubts if MyArchitectAI is the right rendering tool for you, we’d love to show you what it can do on a quick video call - book a meeting with us here.
If you need to visualize your architectural or interior concepts without worrying about the hardware, steep learning curve, and waiting for hours for renders to finish, then MyArchitectAI is the V-Ray alternative you're looking for.
If, however, you're working on big projects that require the highest level of photorealism and precision possible and you have an in-house team of 3D artists, you should pick V-Ray.
While we'd love to have you as a MyArchitectAI user, we also want you to pick the renderer that will meet your needs.
So no matter if you go with V-Ray or MyArchitectAI (or both), we wish you the best of luck!
