Hi all,
since Alpha v4 contained some serious bugs, I've decided to release next alpha faster than usual, after adding just single major feature - IES lights (both both v-ray and mental ray IES light objects are supported).

It is subject to the Corona licence/disclaimer. The installation instructions are here.

Below is a list of the most significant changes. There were also lots of small bugfixes/performance improvements/tweaks:
    • IES lights supported
    • multiscatter + forestpack support
    • Fixed long transforming vertices bug
    • Fixed bug saving cropped images/not saving 16bit exr/tiff
    • panorama exporter support added
    • override material supports include mode
    • fixed “camera clipping + HDcache” bug
    • Slow viewport when CoronaSun set to "From Sky"
    • fixed faceting when using extreme bump
    • multithreaded enviro lights parsing for improved scene build performance

Installation: select your 3dsmax version, copy over the files (there is one new shared library, Corona_IES_parser.dll, that goes to 3dsmax root)
Download it here: corona-renderer.com/stuff/Alpha5.zip

This is an April fool's prank, the build plays the Rickroll video instead of rendering

Every move is a pass so calculate, he's using a high motion blur  and  DR-UG 3D-STFU NOP solver in debug mode for better noise shaking.
