There's nothing planned at the moment, sorry. As ever, the Ideas Portal will let you add the suggestion (or vote for it, if someone has already made the suggestion), at https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ .

Both engines have different target users, and so we evaluate the priorities separately. Not only that, but having something developed for one engine helps in different amounts when it comes to developing the same feature for another engine - in some cases, some code can be shared, in some cases (most, really) only general pointers can be shared and most of the work still needs to be entirely redone as if from scratch, because the engines have very different codebases. Hope this helps explain the question on "sharing forces" :)

With Adobe and Autodesk putting their muscles behind OpenPBR, wouldn't it just be so much easier for everybody if Corona (and Vray) just implemented this as well, or would that mean loosing to much control and competitive advantage? It's 2025 and I think most are ready for a common material paradigm.
