Corona Renderer, developed by Chaos Czech, has recently launched version 7 for 3ds Max, marking the next major milestone in CPU rendering technology.

This update introduces a new physical material for better compatibility and updates the Corona sky model, boosting rendering speeds by 6-50%. The new physical material, featuring Clearcoat and Sheen parameters, is designed to enhance compatibility with other rendering tools such as Substance3D Collection and Quixel Mixer. The model also includes 35 new common real material presets, while the traditional physical material remains available for backward compatibility with existing scenes.

The new version offers a series of optimizations and accelerations to improve rendering times and workflows, with speed enhancements ranging from 6-50% depending on the scene.

Key highlights of Corona Renderer 7.0 include:

• New physical material with Clearcoat and Sheen parameters
• 35 new material presets for quick access to common materials
• Improved glass rendering and faster denoising
• Updated material library with new categories and physically based materials
• Enhanced Corona sky model with volume effects and altitude adjustments
• Support for Max 2022 and 2.5D displacement improvements

Discover the full potential of Corona Renderer 7.0 and elevate your 3D rendering projects to new heights of realism and efficiency.
