The Corona Renderer (very useful in 3D configurator projects) is still unknown to many, but its ease of use and unprecedented interactive rendering engine have the potential to attract a lot of attention in the 3D rendering industry.
The following video gives a brief introduction to the renderer:
With the growing demand for 3D renderings and visualizations, there has been an enormous influx of software aimed at displacing widely used software solutions such as VRAY or Maxwell. Rather still today unknown is the Corona Renderer, which offers in my opinion just as much as the titans of the industry, but in addition still quite inexpensive is to be got. Whether you produce photorealistic images or concept animations, the Corona Renderer is the perfect alternative for artists, architecture and design offices to integrate them inro their daily workflow.
Czech student Ondrej Karlik started developing the Corona Renderer at the Technical University in 2009. Since then the Corona Renderer has continuously developed into a fully-fledged commercial renderer. It is currently only available as a plugin for 3ds Max, but versions for Maya and Cinema 4D will be released soon. The renderer is still very young, but has already made a name for itself ub several compatible industries for high-quality and photorealistic results.
Browse the Corona Renderer Gallery to see the software`s incredible realism capabilities. The work is consistently good and can otherwise only be achieved with the most expensive rendering software. If the corona renderer gets into the hands of the right designer, there are no limits to the quality of the work.
Probably the most attractive feature of Corona is interactive rendering. This allows the artist or user to change the settings while working and see in real time how the changes affect the rendered image. Light, material, and even the geometry of the model can be adjusted as the scene plays in the background, providing unprecedented flexibility for artists who need to further optimize the image after pressing Render. Few renderers on the market allow this level of interactivity.
In my opinion, Corona is the most user-friendly rendering software on the market. You will learn Corona on a single day and fall in love with it the next day. Compared to many other renderers, Corona eliminates the long learning curve before you can start your professional work. Corona takes a much more natural approach to teaching new users the basics. A the same time, the renderer leaves plenty of room for perfection.
The interesting thing about Corona is that it was developed by a designer with a community of designers for other designers. There are strong connections to the underground 3D rendering industry in Europe and Corona is about to become one of the most widely used renderers on the market. The Corona renderer will certainly not disappear so quickly, so we will hear more about it in the future.
