Thanks again for all the comments! :)
The glare on the organ pipes? Can that be done in Corona or is it post?
It's postwork. It's made with several layered glows :)
But if you were using Vray before you can use Vrays post effects with corona (..if you really want to)
Damn, I was expecting the fragmentation! :D
I stopped working with Thinking particles years ago so I don't really believe it will happen but.. who knows ;)
Did you somehow render the faked fog independently?
It's rendered independently (and I recommend to do that!). If you render it with the beauty it will take a lot more time and make everything way more complicated. It's rendered in a separate file with black geometry, disabled GI and optimized settings.
What did the light samples multiplier change? There doesn't seem to be much visible direct light...
The direct light includes the whole skylight from outside, not just the sun, so it's very important for the scene (see the attached image).
Amazing work! Proves that Corona can be used for RPG cinematics. ;)
Hah, I thought the same inside head :- D Waited if it turns into something Blizzard/Blur likes.
I'd really appreciate to see more game/animation stuff done with Corona ;) Unfortunately 95% of the gallery stuff is Archviz only
