QUICK FACTS

THE MEANEST AND LEANEST VERSION YET

• 100% speed boost comes from the integration of V-Ray’s DMC sampler, the first (of many) benefits to Corona Renderer users from the Chaos Group merger
• You can get up to a 600% additional speed boost  in scenes with more than 1 light, thanks to the optional new adaptive direct light sampling
• Adaptivity recomputation is faster by a factor of 2 to 3
• Other general improvements add an additional 5% speedup
• Optimization of render elements mean they need 25% to 75% less memory

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

• We’ve added the Material Library, a collection of over 300 materials for you to use with a drag and drop
• All major hair and fur rendering tools are now supported
• Dedicated shaders for Skin and for Hair let you create realistic materials with the ease that Corona Renderer is known for
• New Subsurface Scattering in the Corona Material makes creating marble and other materials easier and more realistic than before
• Dispersion gives extra realism to gemstones, glass and liquids
• The dedicated Corona Camera
