Greetings friends, I wanted to know if this scene can be done in Corona
Thank you
-
Of course it can. This is a pretty standard lighting setup if you were to google it. More than likely it's a 2 X softbox setup, one key, one fill plus a spot to separate the bottle from the backdrop. Lens would be some between 85mm - 135mm
-
Thank you, but I was referring more to glass, I do not know if it's with volumetric
-
Glass in Corona is very nice to work with. The trick to reproducing this shot is not about volumetrics but about getting the lighting setup correct.

I like the condensation.... nice combination and placement of micro and big drops.

A little test...
-
render bottle and ice with the cinema 4d engine,
render of labels and drops with corona.
I could not achieve this finish in glass with corona since the reflections of the lights are very strong and it also complicated me with the refraction.
I'm sure I have a lot to learn from the corona.
-
Two samples from our gallery. So yeah, this can be done. :)

I love those two images, they always make me thirsty :)
For thick colored glass, you can indeed use volumetrics (that was asked earlier on in the thread), with a regular Corona material and the Volumetric setting. Absorption color and distance are the key (https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000515622-how-to-set-up-realistic-glass-metal-materials (https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000515622-how-to-set-up-realistic-glass-metal-materials))

If, of course, with a corona, wonders are done, the problem is how to do it. the constant that we always need tutorials
-
Can't speak to the quality of them, but lots of tutorials exist, as the principles are the same whether it's Max or C4D (or even a different render engine) - e.g. a Google search for "corona raindrops tutorial" or "corona condensation tutorial"
Lots of options exist - normal and other maps to change the materials, or even outright adding geometry using particles, mograph, manual painting or placement, etc.
-
Making sure to drink a beer before building shaders will definitely help!

This is a nice tutorial on doing the drops: https://greyscalegorilla.com/tutorials/create-realistic-condensation-using-mograph-physical-and-arnold-3-part-series/
Just replace Arnold with Corona.
I think there is another tutorial out there that uses thinking particles to create the condensation.
And of course of if you have x-particles, that would be handy as well.

Or it can be done just by using textures ;)
