Rendering
Easy photorealism.
CPU rendering
Chaos Corona delivers predictable, reliable, and physically plausible results with no compromise in quality. It offers both biased and unbiased rendering solutions, along with a 4K cache. Realistic lighting and materials are available right out of the box.
GPU rendering with Vantage
Render images in seconds with the new Corona to Vantage Live Link and export. Use Vantage to explore your scene, using it as an IR while changing lighting, moving objects, or editing materials thanks to the speed of GPU rendering.
LightMix
Use LightMix to adjust the intensity and color of your lights in the frame buffer, as well as create, save, and load multiple lighting scenarios from just one render.
Corona Caustics
Enable the Fast Caustics Solver to easily add caustics to your scene. Reflective caustics are then calculated for all materials, with refractive caustics enabled per material as needed, plus you can enable caustics being visible through volumes.
Extensive post–processing, inside the VFB
Save time by eliminating the need for third-party software to perform post-production work on your renders, thanks to the wide range of post-processing tools available directly inside the Corona VFB. All of these tools can be adjusted before, during, or after rendering, and settings can be saved for instant reuse in any scene.
Stills & Animations
Chaos Corona is great for animations as well as stills. Watch our 3-minute showreel showcasing just some of what our users have created using Corona.
Default settings that work
Targeted for specific markets, Corona offers the most streamlined and easy-to-use UI without clutter and unnecessary parameters. The default render settings of Corona are generally the best choice in most situations, so there is usually no need to change them.
Compatibility
Chaos Corona is compatible with a wide range of third-party plugins, allowing you to continue using any tools already integrated into your workflow during both Interactive Rendering and final rendering.
Resumable rendering
With resumable rendering, you can pause your renders in the Virtual Frame Buffer (VFB) and resume them later, enabling a highly flexible workflow.
Autosave
Enable the Autosave function to save your rendering progress every few minutes in an .exr file. If your render or computer crashes, you'll have the latest progress safely saved.
Built–in help
The UI has tooltips for most parameters, activated automatically when you hover over the controls. There is also an automatically generated online GUI manual you can consult when you do not have your DCC open.
