Chaos Corona Premium Floating Annual Subscription

Chaos CosmosChaos Cosmos is an extensive 3D content library built for Corona. It offers a wide range of high-quality, ready-to-use 3D assets including furniture, people, vegetation, vehicles, and more. These assets are optimized for rendering and can be easily imported into scenes, saving artists significant time and effort in creating detailed and realistic environments.

Chaos ScansChaos Scans is a library of meticulously scanned materials derived from real-world samples, capturing their precise texture, reflectivity, and other physical properties. It offers an extensive collection of fabrics, metals, plastics, woods, and more, all of which can be easily integrated into 3D projects using Cosmos.

Chaos ScatterWith Chaos Scatter, you can easily place trees, grass, shrubs, and rocks in your scene. You can limit tree placement on steep slopes and carve out roadways using splines. Chaos Scatter offers a wide range of controls, allowing you to achieve the precise results you’re looking for.

Corona PatternTile real geometry over a surface with the same ease as tiling a texture. Corona Pattern provides far more realism than alpha, bump, and displacement maps, and it requires far less memory than those alternatives.

Corona DecalRoad markings, cracks in concrete, smudges, and dirt on glass — these details add realism to your scene, and Corona Decal makes them easy to implement. Corona Decal is simple to set up, stackable, fully supports displacement, and can affect specific channels and multiple objects.

Corona SlicerCorona Slicer is a material you can apply to any object, turning that object into a “slicer” that will cut away geometry non-destructively at render time. You can animate this slicer object, and it all works without the inconsistencies of any sort of boolean operations in the host software.

Corona ListerEasily find and control the most important settings for Lights, Displacement, Proxies, Cameras, and Scatters using Corona Lister and Scatter Lister.

3ds Max UI remains unblocked while renderingEver started a render, then minimized 3ds Max to get at something else on your desktop, only to find you can’t maximize Max again until the render is done? This is a thing of the past, as rendering in Corona keeps the 3ds Max UI unblocked.

Corona Physical MaterialCorona Physical Material is a highly versatile and realistic material type, designed to simulate real-world materials accurately. It is user-friendly and supports advanced features like clear coat layers, sheen, and anisotropy, allowing you to create a wide range of materials, from simple surfaces to complex, layered textures.

Material PreviewMaterial previewing uses the same rendering engine as the final frame rendering. The default 3ds Max or Cinema 4D material preview scene is replaced with a custom, more representative Corona scene, so you get a genuine “What You See Is What You Get” material editor.

DisplacementChaos Corona's 2.5D Displacement lets you achieve detailed and accurate displacement while still optimizing parsing times and memory usage. You can control how displacement is handled when using a Layered Material, choosing between Blend All Layers (default), Only from base, or Add all layers.

Atmospheric & volumetric effectsUsers can choose between a simple, fast-rendering volume effect in the Corona Sky to simulate atmospheric haze, or the full control of a volumetric material for more complex results.

Corona Tile MapEasily create stunning bathrooms, kitchens, walls, and floors with procedural tiles thanks to Corona Tile Map. You can now use bitmaps or procedural maps to define the colors of the tiles and repeat, randomize, or even tessellate an image onto the tiles, depending on your needs.

Many maps to choose fromChaos Corona comes with many useful maps that you will soon find indispensable, such as Ambient Occlusion, Mapping randomization, Multimap, Triplanar mapping, Edge Map/Shader, and more.

Corona ConverterYou can instantly convert your scene to the Corona Physical Material with the click of a button, whether that is from other renderers such as V-Ray, or from older Corona materials like the Legacy Material.

Toon ShadingIf you want a break from realism, you can create a stylized, non-photorealistic look, using Corona’s new Toon and Outline materials. Cartoon-style renders can be helpful in the early stages of a project, when you don’t yet want to commit to specific materials, or serve as an artistic choice in the later stages.

Corona Sun and Sky systemChaos Corona offers several options for generating realistic procedural skies, using Sun and Sky objects/materials which are linked and work together, including the ability to have the sun below the horizon to create realistic results for dawn and twilight results.

Interactive LightMixInteractive LightMix in Corona lets you change light colour and intensity during or after rendering with a single click. Configure scenes with multiple suns, procedural skies, and environment maps, and render different times of day and sun angles in one render.

Efficient rendering of lightingCorona handles scenes with many lights without problems and with no penalty to render time, so that you don’t have to worry about trying to optimize your scene.

No sampling parametersThere are no sampling parameters that you would have to set by trial and error. Lights will always work as expected.

Photorealistic cameraThe Corona camera acts like a modern real-world camera and can be controlled through simple Exposure stops, through to full shutter speed, f-stop, and other controls. These are completed with advanced controls for camera effects such as Motion Blur and Bloom & Glare.

Lens effectsLens Effects allow you to control the end result via lens scratches, dust, and peripheral grating, and the colour of the effect can be adjusted using the Colour Intensity and Colour Shift parameters, so you can be as realistic or as creative as you choose.

Bloom & GlareBloom and glare are effects that happen in real life due to the imperfections of camera lenses and sensors, so they often appear in real-life photos. Use them to increase the realism of your renders.

Virtual RealityUsing a Corona Camera, you can export images in Spherical or Cubemap format ready for viewing in a wide range of VR applications. Stereoscopic and panoramic images can be used in any VR software.

DenoisingUse denoising to reduce the number of passes needed to get a noise-free image and save between 50 to 70% rendering time (as reported by our users). Denoising removes fireflies (hot pixels) from an image, and can be used only in that mode if required.

Interactive RenderingOur fully-featured Interactive Rendering brings you similar advantages as exploring your scenes in real-time. You can change materials, lights, and create or adjust geometry as well as see your interactive render respond almost immediately. It runs entirely on the CPU and is not limited by your graphics card.

Real-time rendering with VantageCombine Corona with Vantage to explore and render your scenes in real time via Live Link. Vantage allows for rapid testing of camera angles, lighting, and scene staging, then once you find the shot you want, you can switch back to Corona for the ultimate in realism.

Distributed renderingRendering with multiple computers is made simple by Corona. It has its own distributed rendering system which is compatible with 3ds Max’s and Cinema 4D’s native solutions.

Render elementsFor adjusting images in video or image editing software, Corona offers many Render Elements (3ds Max) and Multipasses (Cinema 4D), including Virtual Beauty, matte passes, separation of scene illumination, depth information, and more.

Cryptomatte supportCorona Cryptomatte is a render element that will help you easily create colour mattes of a complex scene with hundreds of objects. It automatically generates the render channels stored in a multichannel OpenEXR file which removes the hassle of creating dozens or hundreds of single masking elements.

Smart masksCreating masks in Chaos Corona is an easy process. You can create monochromatic as well as RGB masks simply by specifying Object ID, Material ID, or by directly picking objects in the scene. You can combine different selections as union or intersection.
