Corona Renderer

Overview

Corona Renderer is a new high-performance (un)biased photorealistic renderer, available for Autodesk 3ds Max and as a standalone CLI application, and for Maxon Cinema 4D.

Despite its young age, Corona Renderer has become a production-ready renderer capable of creating high-quality results.

Corona Renderer 5 for 3ds Max Includes:

• 2.5D displacement: saves significant memory and reduces parsing times
• Caustics improvements: saves significant memory and renders faster, plus other improvements
• Overall memory, parsing time, and render time savings for all scenes (no changes required!)
• New hair and skin materials added to the Material Library
• Hair rendering (Max native, Ornatrix, or Hair Farm) needs less memory
• GPU-accelerated render denoising
• Better interactive rendering and displacement
• Lower RAM usage
• New options for randomizing materials by mesh elements
• Various quality of life improvements, UI tweaks, and bug fixes!

Corona Renderer 5 for Cinema 4D Includes:

• New 2.5D displacement saves significant memory and reduces parsing times
• Caustics are faster and need less memory, and respect include/exclude lists for Corona Lights
• New Corona Sky object allows multiple environments for LightMix (and Physical, Solid Color, HDRI, or any Shader as an environment)
• Greatly improved handling of Corona Proxies (which now include animation)
• New Select Material and Shader for self-contained "mini-library" that an object takes with it
• New Multi Shader to allow randomizing of colors or textures between objects or sub-objects
• Compatibility with the native Cinema 4D Background object
• New Shadowcatcher Illuminator option for Corona Lights
• Interactive Rendering, to make test renders a thing of the past
• LightMix, to change color and intensity of lights before, during or after rendering
• Denoising (CPU, and GPU if you have a compatible NVIDIA GPU)
• Tight integration with Cinema 4D

What we think about Corona Renderer

The render quality and speed of corona is remarkable, ease of use is a refreshing, and interactive rendering adds to the ease of use and crafted experience.
