[blanchg]

The latest tutorial that I have seen is here: https://tutorials.chocofur.com/introduction-to-corona-renderer-in-blender

That is a scene file on the Chocofur site. Unless their is a video or tutorial in the scene download. Can someone answer by question more specifically? Thanks

Hi guys I would like to write, that the latest Corona 5.0 Standalone works fine with latest exporter for Belnder. What is the most important that the previous proxy made using Corona 3.0 standalone works fine with Corona 5.0 There is no need to recreate proxies to use it with it.

However material preview still doesnt work :p

What changes compared to version 3?

As far as I saw, loading scene into Standalone after exporting is somehow longer than in 3.0 but rendering itself is faster, except this I see no difference.

Still without denoising in Lightmix? :)

OH i didn't checked that feautre because simply i am not using Lightmix at all. However you can add normal and difuse passes to your render chanels and thgan combine them in Blender 2.81 with Intel denoiser. 3 months ago i used this workflow to get rid of noise while using lightimx.

Oh, that's a good idea, thanks!

Hi guys,

There is any news about the Corona exporter being updated for Blender 2.8 or even if this project still going on?
I checked the pages on patreon and bitbucket but it's been a while since they've been updated.

I've used V-Ray for Blender for many years but its development was apparently discontinued earlier this year.
So now I'm looking for a replacement for it and Corona seems to be the natural move. =)

Hey I am working on the 2.80 compatible version but it is slow going. Not sure how long until it is ready. I have objects rendering from 2.80 but there are no node based materials working.

Thanks!
There is a channel where we can support your work? (patreon or whatever...)

[blanchg]

There is from the blender corona link in the footer and many fine people over the years have contributed, however this is only a hobby so I don't expect anything :)
