Corona takes a much more natural approach to teaching new users the basics while still allowing plenty of room to perfect. The interface removes the layers of technical mastery most rendering software requires you to learn before being able to confidently use it for professional work. It claims artists “will learn Corona in just one day, and fall in love with it over the next few.” It is a bold assertion, but one reflected by how rapidly the popularity of Corona as spreading. Interactive Rendering takes a lot of the guesswork out of visualization.Ĭorona also hangs its hat on being the most user-friendly rendering software on the market. Typically, once you cross that line, you’re only saving grace to change the work is in post-production. Lighting, materiality, even model geometry can be adjusted as the scene is being rendered in the background, allowing unprecedented flexibility for artists who rely on the ability to continue to tweak the image after they press ‘render.’ Few renderers on the market allow this level of interactivity. In fact, you can do all this while the image is rendering. This allows the artist or user to change settings on the fly, viewing in real-time how the modifications affect the rendered image. Perhaps Corona’s most attractive feature is Interactive Rendering. With the power of Corona in the hands of the right design office or 3D visualization artist, there are few limits to the quality of work it produces.
The work is consistently good, and ditches that plastic-y, half-real veil that can haunt even the most expensive rendering software. It is still very much a product in infancy, but is gaining a reputation across several compatible industries for the high-quality, photo-realistic results it produces.īrowsing through the Corona Renderer Gallery shows off the incredible capabilities the software has in terms of realism.
It is currently only available as a plugin for 3DS Max, but will soon release versions for Maya and Cinema 4D.
Whether you are producing photo-realistic images or concept animations, Corona Renderer is the perfect alternative for artists, architecture firms, and design offices to incorporate into their everyday workflow.Ĭorona Render began development in 2009 as a project by Czech Technical University student Ondřej Karlík, and since has been undergoing a constant evolution into a full-fledged commercial renderer. Corona Renderer is one of the underdogs - a feisty and capable piece of rendering software that offers just as much under the hood as the titans of the industry, but leaves the hefty price of admission at the door. With the growing demand 3D rendering and visualization, there has been an influx of software development targeted at pulling the masses away from household rendering engines such as VRAY and Maxwell.
