Title: Can I render in Corona not having 3DS Max?
Post by: mareks on 2014-11-12, 07:12:23

Hi there,

Just considering a major upgrade of my system.
My main tool is ArchiCAD, so is there any way to export model out of it to Corona renderer?

Cheers,
Marek

Welcome in Corona forum, Marek!

Of course you can.
You just need to write the translator from Archicad to Corona standalone.
Or better you can save project in .3ds and work with him in 3dsMax.
Also you can use Corona Renderer with Blender, Maya and Cinema 4D.

There are topics about of all actual versions: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/board,20.0.html

ArchiCAD 4k+ Euro already spent, do I have to spend so much for Max just to render?
Just tell me, please, how to render in Corona, when I have 3ds model. Just installed Corona 7.1, but not able to find it anywhere to open.

Thank you

Looks to me that my first issue is to know how to install Corona standalone version.
Installed successfully CoronaA7.1-final.exe, then tried to install Corona_ReleaseLib.exe with no success,  error says that one *.dll file is missing, as attached.

BTW
No problem with .obj export from AC, though.
