Autodesk 3ds Max 2016 Support

3ds Max 2016 is now directly supported in the installer.

Corona Bitmap

Corona Bitmap is a new shader, works similarly to 3ds Max, but faster.

The Corona Converter can convert 3ds Max bitmaps

in the entire scene with just one click, allowing to

easily speed up rendering usually by 10-20%.

Below are some examples of our real test scenes.

A4 Benchmark Interior scene – 9% faster

Interior Scene – 14% faster

Car Scene – HDRI – 30% faster

BTR scene – 20% faster

Tree Scene – 12% faster

Particle Flow Re-worked

Corona Renderer now supports instancing,

resulting in MUCH faster parsing and lower memory consumption.

Particle flow can now be used with Corona as a scatter system,

as shown in this landscape image with 17 billion polygons:

The Particle age map and true motion blur now work

with any particle flow system, with any material operator (even static).

Smaller Improvements

Better error reporting: non-obtrusive, non-blocking,

with option to suppress further messages.

Added ability to specify licensing server IP on render nodes

Corona dialogs (VFB, licensing, …)

are now HiDPI-compatible

Glossy reflections are no longer darker on object outlines.

Added displacement switch to RayswitchMtl

Render passes now correctly output negative values

Bugfixes

Fixed random parsing crashes when using some specific

3ds Max features in the scene

Fixed freezes when using more than 1 interactive window

Fixed crashes when X-Ref-ing CoronaLight

Fixed crashes when adding/removing render elements during rendering

Fixed interactive rendering not starting when using Greeble

Fixed bug where Corona randomly saves black images

Fixed CoronaSun at 0° angle rendering black
