Changes in Corona 13 for Cinema 4D (Daily Build):

* Added
* Added new Corona Toon material
* Added new Corona Outline material, it is possible to use it globally (in render settings) or per object/material
* Added thin film to Corona Physical material, this allows the users to create materials with iridescence (e.g. soap bubble)
* Added firefly filter that cleans fireflies during the whole rendering, both interactive and production
* Added decals to Corona Lister dialog
* Added support for importing Cosmos assets with material variations
* Updated OIDN on macOS to version 2.3.3 (note that this version is already used on Windows)
* Added search filter to Corona node material editor
* Added support for rendering animation via Chaos Vantage
* Fixes
* Fixed issue where decal with refraction intersecting solid objects could turn the object into medium container and thus influence the rendering of other objects in its vicinity
* Fixed incorrectly handled visibility overrides in Corona light with prevent-black-appearance enabled

Below is our first release candidate for Corona 13, we will now focus on testing and resolving remaining issues.

You can download this build from Chaos account's downloads page or from Google Drive.

Changes in Corona 13 for Cinema 4D (Release Candidate 1):

* Added
* Added clusters in Chaos scatter - we now support clusters using either procedural parameters or using provided texture matched using instance colors
* Added support for AI Enhancer in Chaos Cloud Collaboration - new AiEnhancer pass can be added in Multi-pass, allowing upload from Corona VFB to Cloud Collaboration
* Added support for VrScene import
* This currently requires V-Ray plugin to also be installed
* Not all V-Ray objects are supported - more improvements are planned both before and after v13 release
* Added new camera in volume resolving - two rays are now used instead of one (there is a new compatibility option used when loading old scenes)
* Changes
* Chaos Scatter is now using the final transform of a given instance for the edge trimming, old scenes are loaded in compatibility mode with scatter 6
* Thin film can be adjusted using custom amount and thickness can now be mapped between min/max thickness using texture
* Fixes
* Fixed when material is considered volume container - only when it has either opacity+medium or if it has refraction
* Fixed NaNs in some scenes with degenerated triangles
* Fixes and improvements in conversion of V-Ray camera and V-Ray material translucency
* Fixed incorrectly matched column for pivot offset in decal lister
* Fixed macOS installer
* Reverted OIDN version on macOS back to 2.0.1 due to technical issues (we plan to update back to newer version in v14)
* Fixes in writing of Cloud Collaboration camera data for automatic hotspots in newer versions
* Fixed issue where convex objects could create outlines where they should not have been
