Chaos Czech (AKA Render Legion) revealed Corona Renderer 4 for 3ds Max.
The newest version features a fast new Caustics algorithm to set up in just a couple of clicks. It is said to be able to handle both reflective and refractive caustics. What is more, caustics can be enabled or disabled on a light-by-light basis, the results are fully compatible with Corona’s Lightmix post-production tool.
The update also brings the ability to pick objects and set the focal point in a rendered image both in the VFB and viewport interactive rendering mode. There’s also a new fisheye mode and the Intel AI Denoiser is no longer restricted to Intel GPUs.
