The update is compatibility-breaking: changes to the node editor intended to improve stability mean that scenes created in Corona Renderer 6 will no longer load in earlier versions.Ĭorona Renderer 6 for 3ds Max has also now shipped.

The release also implements key features from V-Ray, Corona Renderer’s sister renderer, including adaptive environment sampling and improved bloom and glare controls. It's in Russian(I'm sure) but the results speak for themselves.Īnother option I recently tested was using this custom Chamfer node in substance designer.Chaos Czech has released Corona Renderer 6 for Cinema 4D, the latest version of the Cinema 4D edition of the renderer, adding a new sky model and a new distance map. Here's a good comparison video of a Modo Vs Blender rounded edges shader bakeoff. With Modo suffering from terrible shading issues when rendered(which are obviously baked to the NM too) I extensively tested baking down in Modo a few weeks back and found those horrible 90degree shading splits to be so bad as to give up on it. It bakes down nicely in comparison to Modo.

Here is the thread: īlender 2.8 has it natively and it looks to be the best implementation so far. He was already playing around with a first attempt at setting up this effect in Arnold using a curvature mix map. I left the code for it on a recent thread at Adesk forums for Mads. Blender has an OSL shader to do this since 2014. Hopefully soon we will see this effect as an OSL shader in Max. Now gone from Max, although the Autodesk Material(not A&D material) is still there and it also has a rounded edges feature(which is useless without MR) Vray has it too, but I don't think it blends surfaces. Blending between intersecting meshes seems arbitrary(or at least only blends perpendicular?) MentalRay was the first to do it. Still not perfect, but has improved somewhat. Incidentally I was just messing about with Corona today.
