Chaos Corona 12 Update 2 for 3ds Max 2016-2026
Chaos has released Corona 12 Update 2, the latest version of its production renderer for architectural visualization and portfolio rendering in 3ds Max and Cinema 4D.
The update adds over 3,100 real-world scans from Chaos Scans to the Cosmos library, along with improved handling of volumetric effects and depth of field.
Over 3,100 real-world scans from Chaos Scans are now available in the Cosmos library The biggest change in Corona 12 Update 2 is that over 3,100 real-world scans from the Chaos Scans online library have been added to the Cosmos library.
This allows you to drag and drop them directly into your scene, instead of manually importing them.
The scans provided include metal, leather, paper, plastic, rubber, and packaging materials.
Both host applications: Improved handling of volumetric effects and depth of field
Workflow changes common to both host applications include per-camera global volume overrides in the Corona camera for more control over volumetric effects like fog and haze.
The experimental DOF Highlights Solver module, which increases the rendering speed of depth of field effects at the expense of slower rendering of other effects, now produces correct results when highlights are visible in reflections or some refractions.
3ds Max only: Faster timeline scrolling
3ds Max users get faster timeline scrolling when interactive rendering is enabled, as well as an update to the direct link to Vantage , the real-time Chaos renderer.
Cinema 4D only: Automatic conversion of more common V-Ray objects and materials
Cinema 4D users get support for more object and material types in the Scene Converter , which automatically converts scenes originally created for the V-Ray renderer.
This includes common objects like V-Ray Proxy and V-Ray Clipper; V-Ray Triplanar, V-Ray Two-Sided, and V-Ray Blend materials; and the V-Ray Decal and V-Ray Enmesh systems.
The Node Material Editor also gets a new minimap to help navigate complex materials.
