Corona and Chaos issues

(1/1)

matteosperi:
Hi, I have a question, as a single professional archviz user.
I think the future is always static visualizations but also many professional videos and virtual tours.
I don't like unreal engine (especially the look in the interiors and the gamer interface); so I would use vantage with corona and not only corona for videos.
I think opinions are very different about this

I have two questions:
1- is the integration of corona planned in chaos cloud rendering? without using external render farms?
2- Vantage costs €598.80; is there a future plan for corona (ultra premium) that also includes vantage without buying it extra?
3- is it possible to plan a virtual tour module without external software like vray7/chaos cloud has?
Thanks,
Matteo

1. There are no plans at present to implement Chaos Cloud Rendering for Corona

2. There could only be news about this if such a thing went live, as it's not possible to talk about pricing / licensing / bundling / offers / combos etc. in advance, sorry. So you can only find out about it if it happens, and only once it has happened.

3. Yes, this is coming in Corona 12 Update 1, the next release. There won't be Cloud Rendering, but there will be Cloud Collaboration, and that includes the ability to create Virtual Tours. The next release will need you to manually create the hotspots for now, after uploading your panoramas, but in a future release we'll adopt the automatic hotspot generation (derived from camera locations) that was just released in V-Ray 7. Basically once we send to Cloud Collaboration, you'll have all of Cloud Collaboration (since most of it happens on the Cloud :) Once you get up there, it's all the same wherever things came from).

Hi Tom thanks for the info, that's good news.
For us small studios it's always hard to compete between customer requests and licensing costs, and evaluating future developments is always a good thing.
It would be interesting how many corona users use corona for videos or are moving to vantage.
I think I'll do some testing by purchasing the monthly version.

The problem with Vantage for animations at the moment is you have to build the animation entirely inside Vantage, you can't export anything animated from your DCC to Vantage from Corona.
