In this release developers focused on massive rendering speedups, accelerating your workflow, and making 3D people look amazingly realistic.
Quick facts:
- 100% speed boost comes from the integration of V-Ray’s DMC sampler, the first (of many) benefits to Corona Renderer users from the Chaos Group merger
- You can get up to a 600% additional speed boost in scenes with more than 1 light, thanks to the optional new adaptive direct light sampling
- Adaptivity recomputation is faster by a factor of 2 to 3
- Other general improvements add an additional 5% speedup
- Optimization of render elements mean they need 25% to 75% less memory
New features:
- Material Library added, a collection of over 300 materials for you to use with a drag and drop
- All major hair and fur rendering tools are now supported
- Dedicated shaders for Skin and for Hair let you create realistic materials
- New Subsurface Scattering in the Corona Material makes creating marble and other materials easier and more realistic than before
- Dispersion gives extra realism to gemstones, glass and liquids
- The dedicated Corona Camera
