Corona Renderer for ARCHICAD Alpha 2 released

The plugin is already quite advanced and supports:

• Interactive Rendering takes the guesswork out of setting up materials, lighting and scene composition, and removes the need for test renders.
• The Corona VFB offers a wide range of post-processing effects without needing to use external software, with tone mapping, bloom and glare, vignetting, and more.
• Denoising, which can reduce render times by up to 70%.
• Corona Materials and Textures with a custom texture editor.
• Support for native ARCHICAD geometry, lights, and materials.

Note: The current Alpha is for ARCHICAD for Windows; in the future, there may be a version for macOS.
