Introduction

Corona Renderer is a modern high-performance (un)biased realism renderer for Autodesk 3ds Max, MAXON Cinema 4D, and as a standalone application.

The development of Corona Renderer started in 2009 as a student project of Ondřej Karlík from the Czech Technical University in Prague. After Ondřej founded the company with former CG artist Adam Hotový and Jaroslav Křivánek, an associate professor and researcher at Charles University in Prague, Corona has evolved into a full-time commercial project.In August 2017, the company became part of the Chaos Group, allowing for further expansion and growth. Despite its youth, Corona Renderer has become a production-ready renderer capable of creating high-quality results.The latest versions of 3ds Max and Cinema 4D are currently available for sale through our online store.

Recommended Reasons

People engaged in design, I believe that whether it is a white man or a god, for the renderer will not be unfamiliar. Daily popularization and use, Octane, Redshif, VRay, Corona, Lumion, Enscape ... many industry personnel can read out the name of several mainstream renderers. Especially in the e-commerce industry, which has a great demand for design, product rendering directly eliminates the cost of shooting scenes and a lot of post-production retouching time.

Corona renderer is a halfway decent renderer dark horse! CR for short, developed by Ondra Karlík since 2009, is a (non-biased) CPU renderer based on hyper-realistic photo effects. It can be fully integrated into 3dsmax in the form of a plugin. Ultra-realistic rendering, rendering speed, lighting and textures are the attractions of this renderer, which is also known as the dark horse renderer and the rival of vray renderer.

Product Features

1. Difficulty of operation:The Corona renderer is particularly quick to get started, even quicker if you have a basic knowledge of renderers, but don't underestimate it because it's a physical level renderer, which, unlike analog types of renderers, is more divergent in terms of the way of thinking about mapping. Compared to the Vray renderer, the Corona renderer is much less difficult to get started with, and this advantage makes it the most suitable renderer for newbies to start with. But on the other hand, due to the Vray renderer's use of a much wider base, also makes the Vray renderer's introductory tutorials than the Corona renderer, for the newbie just started, the difficulty of getting started is much lower this CR renderer compared to the VR renderer's advantages, in practice, also about the same does not, but CR is the trend.

2. Rendering efficiencyCorona renderer it neutralizes the strengths of many other rendering software, such as: MaxWell, Blender, etc., you can set up different modes to control the rendering time to help you optimize and improve the rendering time, released in early 2016, version 1.4 increased image noise reduction, the function is to greatly improve the rendering efficiency, up to 50%- 70%. 70%.

When you are in a hurry, in a hurry, or when you have to make frequent changes to a drawing, it is more efficient to use the corona renderer.The Vray renderer takes longer to render the same quality image and requires more hardware.

3. Rendering quality: actually a renderer where the first thing people think about is quality.The corona renderer is based on realistic effects in the design of the lighting effects, which are very lifelike.I think you will not have any question about the corona renderer's lighting effects, because it is excellent. corona renderer and Vray renderer compared to the core advantage is that CR's lighting effects are more realistic, due to the core algorithm design of the CR renderer based on the reality of the effect, so that the rendered light is more close to the natural illumination, a light on the face of the light will have sufficient secondary bounce, almost no need to fill light! The Vray renderer. In the Vray renderer, a light can not be sufficient to illuminate the scene, to enhance the light is bound to storm, must be supplemental light, or with LWF, a lot of processes, the realism of the lighting effect is far inferior to the Corona renderer.
