Corona Renderer feature list
Last update: 07.01.2019 | Version: Corona Renderer 3 | Plugin: Cinema 4D
Render Engine
- Biased and Unbiased solution
- Path Tracing: unbiased solution
- UHD cache: faster biased cached solution for interiors
- Denoising
- Reduces the number of passes needed to get a noise-free image, with render time reductions of 50 to 70%
- NVIDIA AI GPU–based denoising can be used for final renders at the user’s discretion (requires a compatible NVIDIA GPU)
- Interactive amount adjustment
- Adaptive Image Sampling
- Balances out the rendering calculations over the image to focus more processing power on tricky areas
- Progressive rendering
- Max Sample Intensity (MSI): automatically removes fireflies -
accuracy/render speed tradeoff - Bidir/VCM: experimental unbiased engine with faster/more precise caustics
- Proudly CPU based
Interactive LightMix

- Each light select pass can be denoised independently (this can be enabled during automatic setup)
- LightMix result can be saved to a CXR file and then adjusted in the Corona Image Editor, or saved for compositing in other post-processing software
