Which V-Ray feature should we bring to Corona?

[Ondra]

The questions is simple - V-Ray has solved a lot of problems before us, and now we have access to those solutions. What feature that V-Ray already has would you like to see in Corona? Note that this is just for our inspiration, and we don't have time to do much porting before 1.7 release, so we are talking about 1.8 and later

I'm not familiar with V-ray, but i always felt a bit envy its users for vray pattern and vray fur :]

[PROH]

Don't know V-ray indepht neither, but any kind of "sketch/toon" shader (for ArchViz) would be extremely welcome :)

afaik, vray pattern is another plugin, not included in vray as a feature.
but it will great if coronaScatter have some vrayPattern ability like regularity and low RAM usage :)

VRayFur, VRayDomeLight as separate light source object and 2D displacement.
This is the first things that comes into my mind.

[lacilaci]

Can you port irradiance mapping? :D

Agreed, having a dedicated Dome Light in Corona wouldn't be bad, it would be easier to manage different lighting scenarios and make converting scenes a bit easier, too.

That's the idea of DomeLight for me, having multiple HDRI's in one scene and fast access to them via light lister.
I think this is must have option that will make life much easier.

I second that, a toon shader would be really usefull for us ArchViz users.

I think it would be awesome, when we could be able to use vray scanned materials

[Ondra]

VRscans, VRfur and 2D displacement are definitely planned, but not domelight - we could have made that easily from the beginning, but it was our decision not to do it, to keep the renderer simple and easy to use

[Alex.A]

GPU rendering of course (I know you probably won't do it).

[davegmac]

Cryptomatte would be really a great addition. Multi layer .exrs

[danio1011]

GPU accelerated denoising would be awesome!  With a lot of light mix layers denoising can really get slow...

Deeper integration with Blender - does the new business situation make any change to your views on the open source licensing?
