Chaos Corona 12 is here 

Ah it would be lovely to be able to develop everything everyone asked for all at once - unfortunately, with limited time, the art of balancing 'what to work on next' has to be brought into play, and that is always a case of "you can't please all the people all of the time." unfortunately. That said, no request made is ever forgotten, and we always come back and reassess what we will work on in each version. Always be sure to make requests via ticket (support.chaos.com/requests/new) as anything here on RU-vid will not get into the tracking system. We'll also soon have an improved way of submitting feature requests, which will make it easier to find and upvote things, etc. As well as being more convenient all round, this will also make it easier to assess the level of interest in particular features so we can include that in our decision processes. Thanks! Tom

Although we plan to remove the Corona Material Library from the installer, if you already have it installed it will stay there, and there will always be some way to download it separately just as there is today. So for those that want it, that option will remain :) Thanks! Tom

@@ChaosCorona Yes, I believe giving the users the option to install it separately as you update corona is great. Honestly just today due to a server maintenance our computers didnt have access to wifi, and the only reason I was able to contine working was because I could access corona library offline, for chaos cosmos I had to have our company's IT to do a bunch of resets to get it to work!

Then your hopes are met, as there is Vantage integration - you can export to Vantage with Corona 12 :) See www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12 for full details. Hope this helps! Tom

Sorry you don't find the update exciting for you - you can always let us know which features WOULD make for an exciting update for you by adding a request to the Features Request section of the forums ( forum.corona-renderer.com/ ) or via ticket ( support.chaos.com/requests/new ). Hope this helps! Tom

Hi! Any HDR sets would come as updates to Cosmos, you can check over on their roadmap / changelogs to see what has been done or is planned. Thanks! Tom

Not sure what the question is, do please get in touch with some more details at support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or over on the forums, where tech support will see your question and be able to get you an answer. Thanks! Tom

@@ChaosCorona Go to the forums and find topic=19163.0 It's been there, and ignored, since 2018.

A new ticket or feature request never hurts. And it wasn't ignored, there are replies there from the team. One thing to bear in mind, some things are fundamentally hard to solve depending on how a render engine does its calculations and approaches things, some things may even be 'impossible'. Still, raising the question afresh via ticket would be the way to go to emphasize how important this is to you (RU-vid comments can't feed into the tracking system, and there things do run the risk of simply falling between the cracks). Thanks for taking the bit of extra time to send in a ticket if you do so! Tom

Same as 11, support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4665349542417-What-are-the-system-requirements-of-Corona . For Vantage, which is a separate product and not part of / included with Corona, you'd have to check it's own requirements at support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403291015569-What-are-the-system-requirements-to-run-Chaos-Vantage . Hope this helps! Tom

TY for the feedback! For all feature requests, please send in a ticket at support.chaos.com/requests/new so that it goes into the system (comments from RU-vid will unfortunately get lost along the way). Thanks for your understanding! Tom

Thank you for your kind words! A lot of work did go into this release, and of course we won't let up for future releases either! Tom

The channel has a whole lot of videos on just about every topic there is (with the ones dedicated to Corona 12 features coming out over the next few weeks). You can also check out the ever-growing Corona Academy, so long as you have a Corona license (www.chaos.com/corona-academy ). Hope this helps! Tom

Vantage is a separate product, so you would need to purchase a Vantage license too, yes. This is the same for V-Ray users, for example, as Vantage is not part of Premium or any sort of bundle. Hope this helps! Tom

vai tirar dinheiro da gente

Amigo, vai de Dê Cinco! Está compensando mais!

Wow, easy there. Do you have experience developing render engines? I didn't think so. Especially because of your tone, you don't sound very professional right now. Everything will come in due time, just like with VRay. Focus on all the good stuff we already have. Have a great day.

@@fernando749845 This isn't the development of a render engine, it's like slapping a new label on an old product and calling it a revolutionary breakthrough.

You are absolutely right bro don't let any Simp tell you otherwise. They spent a Year working on an update to Version 11 only to Name and widely Celebrate it as Version 12. This should be called Version 11.1. I find it Ridiculous that all the Improvements we the Corona renderer users asked for have be Neglected or Half-assed implemented. It's pathetic and they would still increase prices for this already overpriced Plugin.

@@fernando749845lol, so you want people to pay full price for the promise that ‘more updates will come’. Why release v12 if those updates aren’t in the actual version. Also, don’t belittle someone’s skills just because they complain about a software.

Not a year, 6 months - we release two versions a year, next is due at end of October if all goes to plan. Just for factual accuracy :) And no price increases this version either, again so no-one is confused about the comment. And last, not sure what user requested features we have neglected - the most requested was always some way to use GPU rendering, and that's what this version delivers, so in truth it addresses the number one request that has gone unanswered for many years. Hope this helps! Tom

No, we decided to split the old form release video into two - there's this one, and then the other going live later today where I will give a quick talk through the new features :) This is so we don't hold up the 3D team for the release video (this one) as they wait for UI and functionality to be finished in the latest version :) Hope this helps! Tom

I know right? Looking like Enscape

Do you even use it? Wdm by getting worse in realism?

@@Jakhongir yes

@@Jakhongir I can tell by looking at the video. It is probably the animators fault.. but you can see many scenes that just don't look like Corona realism at all, and look more like Enscape. For instance 0:32. Look at the reflections of the wood. The whole image is over exposed, does that look like something out of real life? 0:48 also looks terrible, with the green plant greatly over saturated. It looks like a plastic. The clouds at 0:54 are simply not real, and those are using the Enscape sky cloud system which Chaos recently acquired.

@@shynnsup8383 sure, I mean its not about Corona itself. It seems someone made it in hurry. But engine works as good as earlier.

Thank you for the kind words! Tom

Has been noted before that GPU for Corona is not on the table. But export to Vantage opens up all the benefits (and same drawbacks) that any GPU Corona would have had, and that we could develop without significantly stalling the development of the main plugin. So the GPU route, with ray tracing, is open to Corona users now if they want it! We'll be considering various things like upscaling when we look into what might make it into 13, and if it isn't on the list for 13, it will still be on our list :) Thanks! Tom

Sorry, there will be no new DCCs supported by Corona other than our existing two (3ds Max and Cinema 4D). Tom

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the video - we certainly look forward to our users outdoing us when they put Corona 12 to use! Best regards! Tom

Haha it looks better than your Behance work buddy and way better than your 'animation'.

@@fernando749845 lol, good try. Would love to see yours, but you're an empty one.

@@fernando749845 but was he lying? it does look cartoonly

Sorry to hear you didn't like the video - still, we are sure our users will outdo us once they put Corona 12 to use, and we look forward to seeing what they create :) Best regards! Tom

Sorry to hear you are disappointed - please let us know via the Feature Requests on the forums what it is that would make an update a good one for you (forum.corona-renderer.com/ ), as otherwise we don't know what it is that is missing in this release that would have made you feel differently. Thanks! Tom
