Bringing scenes to life: playing with Veras 3.0’s video feature

With the Veras 3.0 release, you can access the new video mode! You can do some pretty wild explorations with it. Here are some cool workflows we’ve tested out:

Day to night

This is one of my favorites, as it dramatically changes the scene and exposes how the materiality is affected by the change in lighting. It’s also really neat how it works for both interiors and exteriors. The preset used ships with Veras: Vid - Light to Dark

Prompt: light turns to dark and the interior lights turn on

Exterior 

Interior 

Populating an empty room

This workflow is one of the more animated ones, easily loosing hours in the fun of it. The idea is simple: take an empty room and populate it based on the prompt.

Here are the designs it came up with, along with the entertaining animations:

Kitchen

Prompt: populate room with interior furniture, cabinets and fixtures and make it a kitchen using a modern minimal style, wood upper cabinets, back lower cabinets, blue kitchen island, concrete countertop, use a popping animation for the added elements

Bathroom

Prompt: populate room and make it a cozy bathroom using a Scandinavian style, free-standing claw foot tub in the center of the room, open rain shower in corner with water running, add a fireplace

Animating assets and effects

This might be one of the most popular use cases, as having animated assets brings life to your designs. What’s really neat is that it can work with any input image: it can be an Enscape render or a Veras render, or anything you want to upload.

Cars, people, and vegetation

Snow

Prompt: it’s a snowy winter scene. Snow starts to gently fall. The wind is blowing making the trees sway from side to side

Fun

You got to have some fun with it!
