Removed Distributed rendering (done), so those 116 users who voted for it have another vote. I've also added out-of-core rendering and particle flow

rendering scenes that do not fit into RAM. Although I consider this the ultimate feature, to be added when everything else is there, it will be pretty hard ;)

right approach, and I think if users be know, what feature most hard to add - then the result of votes be other. (may be in quotes right in vote pool add the hardness of adding feature?)

Yes please. This is pretty important feature for production work. Render-to-disk is a pretty important feature as well, so that frame buffer memory usage isn't a limiting factor.

so vote for the out of core rendering!

i would love to see FOG added to the list, doing a scene in ancient ruins at the moment and fog would be a great addition to this. unless anyone knows how i set this up? tried adding it in the environment roll-out seemed to do nothing.

You can fake it with z-depth or motion blur. ;)

ah ok just saw that yeah thx will +1 to that :) must say i'm mighty impressed with Corona as it is anything extra is a bonus.

So far the things i keep going back to Vray for are the SSS shader and better control over lights.  focusing lights, a spot light for instance i find quite difficult to achieve in Corona
pointing the rays in the same direction is somewhat tricky and the results haven't for me came out quite that well.  i confess i do need to spend more time on it. but for me those are the things that i would love to see. FOG, SSS and better lighting control

great stuff though :)

Since there is so much to implement, I would like to know, what do you want the most.

Everyone has 3 votes, so you cannot simply check everything ;). Choose wisely. I'll use the results as a guideline to what is needed the most.

If you want something not in the poll, post it here, I'll add it. Integration into other 3D software is off the table - too much work to be done by single person ;).

Hi Ondra,
you're a great

Greats
Raf

Man I want Pflow and Volumetric lightning/Fog, but I suppose I've got to have some more patience. I'll try to survive for now ;).

Corona is really great stuff.

/edit
Oh and a Dirt-map could use some more love and attention ;)
