Hi, thank you for improvements..
Is there any limitation about cosmos assets? As far as i understand from the video you share they are free and you can download and use them from cosmos window inside sketchup.. I couldn’t download that is why i am asking..
Hi @kenancakir
Chaos Cosmos Browser is part of the installation of V-Ray 5 and does not require any other specific actions. You can access the downloadable content of the Chaos Cosmos Platform from within the host platform after the V-Ray installation is finished. You can get the latest update of V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, update 1 here: Download | My Chaos
There are no current limitations in regards to the Chaos Cosmos assets - you should be able to download them from the Cosmos Browser and import them directly in your SketchUp model. Can you let us know what is it that you were not able to download - any screenshots/recordings would be of great help.

We’ve also prepared a video on Placing Chaos Cosmos assets in your scene in V-Ray 5 for SketchUp - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulCKviTUW3A&ab\_channel=ChaosTV
Hello, @kenancakir ,
Perhaps I misunderstand what you say by “I couldn’t download”. Do you have V-Ray 5.1 for SketchUp installed but are unable to download any Cosmos assets?
If, by chance, this is the case, please share more info:
- Are there any errors printed in the Cosmos Browser?
- Is the import process confirmed as successful in the Cosmos Browser but nothing appears in the SketchUp viewport?
- Please share with me the cb.log file located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChaosGroup\ChaosCosmos
Kind regards,
Peter
Just upgraded and loving Cosmos, really adds value to the Vray 5 experience. one question though, where is it saving downloaded assets to and can this be changed as don’t want my 980 primary drive getting stuff like this dumped onto it.
Could you please send the file cb.log located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChaosGroup\ChaosCosmos ?
Additionally, please click the Content Browser menu button at the top-right corner or its window, choose ‘About’ and state what is the build number you see there.
Hello, Jason,
Glad you like the new addition!
I understand well your concern about disk space. Currently, unlike the V-Ray material library, it is not possible to specify a custom location for downloaded Cosmos asset files. It is on the to-do list, though.
Kind regards,
Peter

I will send the log file to the chaos support as email..

Thank you, Kenan,
Received the db.log and we have a solution for your problem. It will be amended shortly without the need for you to do anything on your side.
Will let you know when it is done!
Thank you..
@kenancakir , please follow these steps to regain the ability to download Cosmos assets.
- open Windows Services
- find “Chaos Cosmos Browser Service”
- right-click on it and select “Restart”
Once done, everything should be in order.
Kind regards,
Peter
I restart the service, but i still have the same error message, nothing change.. I tried to restart computer and then restart the service, it is the same.. I will try reinstalling vray setup..
Edit : Reinstalling didn’t change the error..
Ok, thank you for reporting back!
It is best to continue the troubleshooting by mail. My colleague @nikoleta.garkova will reach to via your ongoing correspondence.
Kind regards,
Peter
Love the new cosmos assets. I tried editing a couple of the lights, wanted to lower the intensity. But they do not seem to be editable. is this correct?
Happy to read you like Chaos Cosmos!
There are a couple of methods to adjust the lighting of assets with illumination sources:
- Adjust the Intensity multiplier directly from the Cosmos Asset options
- The Cosmos assets are merged and the resulting lights are then directly adjusted.
Could you please advise which method you used?
Also, what are the names of the assets that appear non-editable?
Kind regards,
Peter
Thank you, now it works for me, even it drops a lot, ı have to sign in almost every download but works.. It is a great adding to vray, thank you..
Hi @GD3DESIGN
This should usually be fixed by starting the service, closing the window and reopening it. If that’s not working, please do forward vrayneui and cb log files so we can have a look and troubleshoot. You can find them in the following places:
- vrayneui log: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Chaos Group\V-Ray for SketchUp\vrayneui
- cb log: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChaosGroup\ChaosCosmos
Additionally, please let us know the exact version of the Chaos Cosmos Browser - it can be found in …>About
@kenancakir if you are experiencing issues with the Cosmos Browser or loading assets, could you please describe them in our email communication so we can have a look and further assist you? Thanks!
