It was sounding like great news until I saw the word acquired :( If render legion had kept a 51% share, leaving them in full control of their own future/development, then it would have been perfect.
Fingers crossed the product will get better as a result of the new ownership, and not the opposite. I think it's safe to say though that if Corona is to remain cheaper than Vray...(and probably even if it doesn't), then it will never be allowed to become a better, faster, easier to use, and a more feature rich renderer than Vray (which it was on its way to accomplishing)....which makes me wonder, if I don't make the switch to Vray, am I always going to be using Chaos's second best renderer.
I hope it all works out well for Ondra and his team, but it seems risky if they're hoping to remain the masters of Corona's destiny.
