The latter is intended to mimic atmospheric haze in aerial perspective images, and provides a less render-intensive alternative to recreating the effect via the Corona Volume material. The update introduces new parameters for Altitude and Turbidity, plus a new one-click Volume Effect.

The new sky model introduced in Corona Renderer 6 – now officially renamed the ‘PRG Clear Sky Model’ – has been extended. Improved sky model recreates the effect of altitude and turbidity We covered the changes to the physical material when Chaos Czech previewed them earlier this year, so check out our original story for more details. The legacy physical material is still available for backwards compatibility with existing scenes. It includes Clearcoat parameters for recreating car paint and Sheen parameters for recreating the surface properties of fabric, and comes with 35 new presets for common real-world materials.

The main feature in the release is CoronaPhysicalMtl, a new “grounds-up PBR material”, intended to increase compatibility with other renderers, and tools like the Substance 3D Collection and Quixel Mixer. New physical material with clear coat and sheen controls

The update adds a new physical material intended to provide better compatiblity with other DCC applications, updates Corona’s sky model, and makes renders “6 to 50%” faster. We’ve updated the story with details of the Cinema 4D edition, which is also now shipping.Ĭhaos Czech has released Corona Renderer 7, the latest version of its CPU-based production renderer for 3ds Max and Cinema 4D. Originally posted on 24 July 2021, when only the 3ds Max edition of the renderer had been released.
