What's new in Corona 12, update 2:
- Chaos Scans are now available in Cosmos. Your favorite collection of 3,100+ scanned materials, now at your fingertips in Chaos Cosmos — making your workflow smoother than ever. Around 200 new archviz focused materials are also being added.
- Automatic Virtual Tours. Generate immersive panorama virtual tours automatically with the new Auto Hotspots.
- Per camera Global Volume Material override. Lets you set different global volume materials for each camera.
- Differential Ray Filtering. Development of this was required for Toon Shading coming in Corona 13. It sharpens textures seen through refraction, some reflections, and in some special camera projections such as Spherical.
- Faster IR Parsing when scrubbing on the timeline in 3ds Max. When you move to a different frame on the timeline with IR running, Corona no longer reparses the entire scene but instead only reparses any animated objects. Developing this was required for rendering via the Vantage Live Link in Corona 13. (Notes: does not affect final rendering, and was not required in Cinema 4D as it already does something similar)
- New Minimap in the Corona Node Material editor in Cinema 4D. Now you can navigate around your materials with ease.
- Converter improvements in Cinema 4D. Now converts V-Ray Clipper, V-Ray Triplanar, V-Ray Twosided material, V-Ray Blend material, V-Ray Geometry tag, V-Ray Proxy, V-Ray Decal, and V-Ray Enmesh.
- And much more!
