NOTE: The installer has new digital signature, which may trigger warning when run. This is expected and fine.
Major User-Facing Improvements
- Caustics Guiding: caustics now clean up much faster (better results in the same amount of time).
- Implementation of caustics in volumes.
- Added tab with Chaos Cloud Collaboration. For information on this, for now see the V-Ray notes at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/24008870901649-How-can-I-use-Cloud-Collaboration
- Chaos Scatter: Added Distribution map presets. Presets and any custom maps are previewed in UI.
User-Facing Improvements

- Caustics improvements:
- More photons are now delivered to caustics in large/complex scenes.
- Added max photon repeat parameter into advanced settings that influences noise of caustics.
- Added intensity multipliers (surface and volume) for caustics.
- Added the option to load multiple CXRs into VFB history at once.
- Added an improved algorithm for white-balance computation. To ensure existing scenes render as before, they will load using the “Legacy White Balance” tone mapping parameter.
- Removed the Corona Material Library component from Corona installer. If you do not have it installed already, a download button will be shown on opening the Corona Material Library.
- Added a decal arrow pointing in the decal projection direction.
- Vfb2.0 - Shows correct render stamp when loading or comparing images.
Bugfixes

- Fixed issue where caustics did not work correctly with Foam or Slicers.
- Fixed issue where clicking on Save in VFB would not save the currently displayed image, but the rendered image instead.
- Fixed issue where saving values over 1 to PNG/JPG with OCIO would give incorrect results.
- Fixed issues with decal/media and heterogeneous media when material-based medium resolving is used.
- Fixed issue where animated texmaps would in some cases render without animation.

chaos-corona-13-3dsmax-daily-2024-10-23.exe (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-no6azXoS8m889cfCdsV_x5k_4xhiqi3/view?usp=drive_link)
User-Facing Improvements
- Chaos Installer is now used instead of Corona legacy installer.
- Command line arguments were changed. You can use -auto instead of -acceptEulaAndInstall. For more command line arguments use -help.
- Unpack is no longer option in installer. Can be done by command prompt --unpackInstall=dir. E.g. --unpackInstall="C:\User\Corona\Unpack".
- Note: Requires SSE 4.2, released in 2008 for Intel and 2011 for AMD, so any machine newer than 13 years old should be unaffected.
This would be around one tenth of one percent of users at our estimate, and some of those may be using an older Corona version anyway since Corona itself needs SSE 4.1 already.
- Added a Separate IR button instead of the dropdown menu option.
- Collaboration now disables 3ds max hotkeys only when text is edited.
- VFB2.0 - Place new history items at the top of history instead of at the bottom.
- Added support for ForestPack Ivy Generator.
Bugfixes
- Fixed issue where showing VRayMtl in material editor without VRay installed leads to crash when Corona is active renderer.
- Fixed issue where Caustics solver could cause NaNs when used in volumes.
- Fixed issue where camera name in Tone Mapping disappears after editing history item and rendering again.
- OCIO config path from the environment variable "OCIO" is used only when the respective mode is selected in Color Management settings.
- Fixed not being able to maximize the VFB while IR was running as it re-adjusted its size.
- Fixed issue where debug.log file is created in 3ds Max project folder.

Major User-Facing Improvements
- Upscaling - Added option to upscale rendering for both interactive and production rendering:
Upscaling is intended for the quicker rendering of draft renders, including animation.
For both IR and Production rendering, it halves the render resolution (width/2 x height/2) and then upscales to the set resolution.
- Added automatic exposure & white balance into postprocessing.
- Added initial support for Vantage Live Link.
User-Facing Improvements
- Added option to system settings to disable overwrite confirmation dialog when using history autosave.
- Added Unpack button to the installer which performs the unpack installation.
- Fit to bitmap in Corona Bitmap now works also in non-real world scale mode.
Bugfixes
- Fixed issue where auto-saving animations into history often resulted in black history snapshots.
- Fixed issue where material library would not be downloaded through the material library dialog when the user did not have permission to modify Corona installation folder.
- Fixed incorrect order of render elements in case Rest render element was not the last one.
- Fixed crash when opening Login window in Cosmos browser.
- Fixed issue where sometimes the sun and environment lights were accidentally calculated as being inside a non-global volume during caustics computations.
- Fixed 3ds Max hotkeys being wrongly reenabled after clicking from Cosmos to another Corona spinbox.
- Fixed issue where "Need help setting up licensing?" link in installer leads to Vantage installation page.
- LUT path is no longer converted from local to UNC after arbitrary UI operations.
- Fixed animated camera unexpectedly changing position when switching target on and off.

Corona 12 Update 1 (not hotfix) will be released before Corona 13, below is the first Release Candidate of Corona 12 Update 1.
Please check this article covering the risks of using daily builds: Daily Builds FAQ (https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528206493329)
If you are familiar with the daily builds and know how to use them, download the newest one here:
chaos-corona-12-update-1-3dsmax-RC1.exe (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j6smvAJhVcbutjD_tIF8loIo1auBpTbk/view?usp=drive_link)
User-Facing Improvements
- Added option for the camera physical box to follow camera transformations and tilt.
- Improved decal arrow sizing, based on the decal box size.
- When exporting to Vantage, Corona exports to a running Vantage application instead of starting a new one. When Vantage is not installed, error is shown to the user.
- Added new Legal Agreements dialog, which is shown only after "--auto" installation (when the eula/privacy policy is not shown).
Bugfixes
- Paths to assets used in Corona Material Library downloaded from Cosmos are no longer converted from mapped drives to UNC paths.
- Fixed Memory Report dialog preventing render from completing, it is closed automatically for render to finish.
- Fixed issues in Caustics solver when Camera physical size is enabled - specifically incorrectly shaded caustics and shadows casted by the camera box.
- Fixed Bloom&Glare occasional incorrect computation when Auto Adjustment is on.
- Disable denoising UI in VFB when upscaling is ON, because upscaling forces denoising ON.
- Fixed issue where interactive rendering in docked VFB would reduce user interface responsiveness when upscaling and sharpenning/blurring were enabled.
- Fixed issue where Cosmos lights were imported with wrong units.
- Fixed Scatter not updating correctly. Scatter is now also uninstalled with Corona, but only if V-Ray of corresponding version is not found.
- Fixed Bloom&Glare missing when saving multiple elements with B&G.
- Fixed issue where fitting decal and then changing the size with locked aspect ratio would result in incorrect decal aspect ratio.
- Uninstallation should no longer fail when some directory cannot be removed because it is still not empty during uninstall (e.g. due to some additional added file).
- Fixed computing of curves operator histogram - histogram now updates during rendering and is computed from editted item as well, not always from the main render.
- Fixed issue where some OSL maps (e.g. those using user-defined attributes) were not working properly.
-
This daily build is planned to be released as Corona 12 Update 1 Hotfix 1 soon, if no issues are found.

User-facing improvements
- Implemented differential ray filtering. This improves texture filtering seen through reflection/refraction, and directly visible textures in fisheye, spherical and alike projection cameras.
Enabled by default in new scenes, old scenes have it OFF and should show a message for switching to new filtering. - Optimized parsing in interactive rendering when changing time - only objects/textures that have animation will be re-parsed.
