* Added textured emission (textured lights)
* Added rounded corners feature (experimental)
Misc

* Added new volume fracal - Mandelbox
* Added ~30 render channels
* Custom VFB improved (start render button, save image button, speed optimizations for high-res renders)
* Added CoronaScatter - simple & fast scattering tool
* Added optional render info bar watermarking to the image
* Added support for MDO scatter plugin

Additionally, there are lots of general stability and speed upgrades (but possibly also new bugs ;)).

Attached are the builds for 3dsmax 2011 and 2012. Older builds are available on demand, build for 2013 will be available in about a month. All versions are 64bit Windows Vista/7 only. If you have older CPU (~ Core 2 quad Q6600 or older), use the version for legacy CPU, which is slower, but can run on any 64bit CPU.

The build is subject to this licence/disclaimer: http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,19.0.html

Installation guide: http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,2.msg2.html#msg2

You can quickly configure the renderer in a scene for production setup using the "Production defaults" button.

I've tried to make it, but they have decided to force unicode in the API, that means, that I'll have to go through the entire application and manually switch it too. I am planning to do that next month.
