Some renders from last week. I did a lot of post work, but working with corona as a main renderer was very pleasant and enjoyable.
If anyone wants more info on those images I'll post it later, busy week.
Cheers!

I agree that lightbulbs look strange, isnt that corona sphere light with direct visibility ticked?
Apart from that very smooth and clean results. I like that wood, it does look good. Any post or is that straight from corona?

Looks nice, maybe you could also lower bump on the walls a little bit.

>headoff - Thanks for advice, that helps a bit with glass material.
>Javadevil - Tried to do some fixing, but maybe I would need to use some nicer hdri map also.
>Raw - Many thanks for explanation, switching to hybrid was the trick for this one. I guess reading what I have in material options wouldnt hurt :)
Thanks for the comments, here is one with hybrid glass.

I know it's a lousy comparision because I would need to spent more work on vray image to try to make it look more realistic.
Setting max depth to 25 won't do any magic. It won't make alot of diffrence in this shot. I would need to add more fill lights behind camera or do some other fancy tricks, because there is only small window in the back. Also Im not as experienced enough in vray so I don't know everything.

But that's what I meant by this post. I am tired of vray workflow and constant tweaking and testing and so on until It's: 'fine enough I'll photoshop it later'
Small changes>preview>wait for it>looks bad, repeat. Keep calm and render until its "quite ok"
That constant wasting time to learn workarounds for every single new problem, searching forums for tips and magic solutions that may or may not work actually the way I wanted.

Don't get me wrong. Vray is great software in terms of speed and quality. It is very flexible also. But at some point there are scenes that are a struggle for me to get good results.
Specially interiors, that is a pain. Lately I was testing other renderers, maxwell, indigo, octane, mitsuba. I thought Corona will be "yet another unbiased renderer that takes ages to clean up and it is complicated, nerd friendly piece of software".
I am happy I was wrong. Its fast and accurate, and very simple and reasonable at Its core.

Anyway here is the final result. I think I'm going to switch to Corona...

Nope, I didnt have it ticked. Now I do, but still no luck. Even after making glass less transparent.
In corona I've made light source bigger but still get that dark shadow.

Hey,
Here is quick render of my old scene, did it again in vray and converted to corona. Same light setup, turned vray DoF off cause it wanted to render for 30-40minutes...
I've let Corona run for 20 mins.
Any suggestion how to get rid of dark glass shadow? There is a corona rectangle light above set to enhance shadows. Move the light away, make it bigger?

To be honest I did some more work on the interior before rendering it in Corona, and it looks better overall. But I did not change some materials at all, just used the conversion script. The floor material is the same as in vray, only bump reduced a bit, and it looks alot better compared to vray one.

Gallery / Babysteps in Corona + Comparision with Vray

Hey Guys,

I was working on some quick stuff last days, struggling with Vray as always to get some decent results. As I wasn't satisfied at all, I've decided to try out the corona.
This is my first work with Corona so any advices are welcome.
I have used PT+HD, render time was 1:30h for 2000x14000 image on Intel 4770 3,40Ghz

Here is render directly from corona and one after small post (just some contrast and little colour tweaking)
Below are also my crappy renders from Vray and one after post. By crappy I mean my skills, not Vray quality, I know there are some really good renders done in Vray.
Im showing those two as a comparision of light and colour distribution while using the same approach to the light setup. Only sun + sky and interior ceiling lamps with TV.

Overall, although Vray render took only 11minutes, the scene setup, material tweaking and preview renders took longer than working with corona, and that was just first render done with it.
