Updated features in Corona 11 for 3ds Max and Cinema 4D
Corona Tile Map
Easily create stunning bathrooms, kitchens, walls, and floors with procedural tiles thanks to the Corona Tile Map. Now, you can use bitmaps or procedural maps to define the colors of the tiles and repeat, randomize, or even “pixellate” an image onto the tiles, depending on your needs.
Corona Tile Map also lets you create multiple inputs and outputs, which means one tile map can be used to control results for color, glossiness, bump, displacement, and more, rather than having to keep several different tile maps in sync.
Edge Map/Edge Shader
Easily apply effects like weathering and staining to the edges of objects with Edge Map/Edge Shader. This is particularly useful for objects with no thickness like leaves, photos, maps, paper, etc.
The new Edge Map/Edge Shader creates a color gradient based on how far away a point is from a geometric edge.
Corona Power Tools
Corona 11 for 3ds Max comes with a set of handy scripts called Corona Power Tools, designed to speed up and replace repetitive and tedious design adjustments.
For example, the Replace Selection tool, allows you to easily swap a set of similar objects with different ones (i.e. chairs in a room).
Scatter Altitude
Define upper and lower limits for scattering, creating more realistic and captivating nature scenes with Scatter Altitude. For example, you can set upper and lower limits for treeline, and waterline, and scatter some clouds around mountain tops without affecting the lower part of the scene.
Pyro
Add an extra layer of action to your scenes with smoke, fire, and other simulations thanks to Pyro. With Corona’s new Pyro support, you no longer need to run the simulation, export it to OpenVDB, and then load it back into the scene. Everything is done seamlessly directly in Corona for Cinema 4D.
Other improvements
Improved Normal / Bump filtering reduces the loss of detail in those channels that can come with using a smaller render resolution or moving an object further away from the camera.
Experience enhanced results with the new Intel Denoiser, now compatible with CPU or GPU, no NVIDIA GPUs required. Users can now take advantage of the color management options offered by the latest versions of Cinema 4D and 3ds Max.
Chaos Corona Customers
Their time is more valuable than their computer’s time; they are less concerned with render speed, and more concerned with the ease and speed with which they can set up scenes.
Many may use the host software more as a scene assembly tool – premade materials, assets, easy tools to create gardens, grass, etc. are more important to them than the modeling and creation of new assets.
They require photorealistic results without compromises; “just good enough” is not good enough!
