First of all thanks for your works (I'm currently not able to make it work, but one step at the time)
Kickstarters work well though you need a good sized population to make it happen, unfortunately if you count the number of people who use blender and want to use Corona then that number is quite small :)
I know blender has not that much of critical mass professionals user base especially in combination with corona, however, I think that with a better integrated version, easier to install, it could grow easily. I'm a Blender trainer mostly in the archviz field and this specific combination I think it could be really good.
A crowdfunding campaign could really be the tool to understand if there are enough interested users.
How many devs do you think it would be needed? Time and costs? Just to have an idea.
There is progress being made here https://bitbucket.org/coronablender/render_corona/overview (disclaimer, I am the developer) It works, there are still some things that could be improved so please submit any issues you find https://bitbucket.org/coronablender/render_corona/issues?status=new&status=open This is based off the previous work by Joel, updated to work with Corona Standalone 1.5+
So I've tried the corona version
2016-08-22 (dropbox folder) , succesfully installed the addon, set the .exe filepath and project path, but it doesn't start the render, or for better say, it start the render but is not launching the standalone of corona.
What am I missing?
