Hey guys, I've been experimenting with Corona for a while, and have been impressed by it's capabilities.
We produce CG jewellery mainly for our customers, so we took a popular ring design and produced a 360 looping animation of it rotating on a plain studio. Here are the results.
We also produced a black version
As a comparison, our previous studio was using Mental Ray, here it is for reference:
(mental ray)
They do look very different, although the goal when using Corona was not to mimic it perfectly, but instead to provide a different feel and style which I believe we've achieved. The mental ray rendering feels much more like a catalogue shot and we find that works well, and we're using Corona instead to give a more photorealistic feel.
Very much looking forward to continuing working with Corona in the future.
EDIT: Not having much luck embedding these videos from Vimeo, any help?
