Corona 12 for 3ds Max & Cinema 4D, update 2

Our library of photorealistic scanned materials, Chaos Scans, is now part of Chaos Cosmos and Corona users can easily find, preview, and use over 3,100 ultra-realistic materials including metal, leather, paper, plastic, rubber, and more. Corona Premium users now have their favorite material collection at their fingertips and enjoy the added ability to fully edit and customize them to suit their needs. Explore the materials on Cosmos and create your most realistic work yet.

Now, you can download and import multiple objects from Chaos Cosmos into your scene at once for a smoother workflow.

Thanks to the new Differential Ray Filtering, textures are sharper and less blurred through refraction and some reflections. This feature also lays the groundwork for the upcoming Toon Shader in Corona 13.

Unlock next-level creative control with the new Global Volume override, which lets you set different global volume settings for each camera. Perfect for foggy or underwater scenes, this feature makes it easy to achieve distinct moods and atmospheres from multiple angles.

The new Depth of Field (DOF) Highlight Solver has had further improvements, working as expected with reflected highlights and some refracted highlights. Now you can benefit from it in even more scenes.

Corona now supports Anima 6, bringing your visualizations to life with dynamic vehicle animations, realistic crowd simulations, and lifelike human movement. Instantly generate vehicle paths that follow international traffic rules and handle intersections automatically. Populate urban scenes with hundreds of animated vehicles, complete with true-to-life behaviors like wheel spin, chassis roll, and terrain response—and more.

Corona is now fully compatible with Autodesk 3ds Max 2026, letting you take full advantage of the latest 3ds Max features—powered by the ultimate photorealism and ease of use of Corona.

Start and/or stop Vantage Live Link using the new button in the Corona toolbar.
