Improvements to memory usage and render times across the board

In addition, the proxies system has been updated, adding support for animated objects.Ĭhaos Czech cites a time saving of “around 70%” to load a scene with 50 cloned instances of an animated proxy and get the first results from a viewport interactive render. The figure put on the performance boost in Chaos Czech’s blog post are lower than for the 3ds Max edition: 16.8% lower RAM usage on a scene with “almost nothing but pure displacement”.Īlso as with 3ds Max, the new caustics system introduced in version 4 has been optimised, with a 10.5% reduction in memory usage and 37% in render time on a scene with “almost nothing but caustics”.Ĭaustics also now respect the include/exclude list for scene lights. The main change is the new 2.5D displacement system, intended to reduce render time and RAM usage over rendering with true 3D displacement. The update also optimises a number of the renderer’s existing features, including the new caustics system and proxies, and adds a new Multi Shader and Corona Sky objct.Īs with the 3ds Max edition, released at the start of November, Corona Renderer 5 for Cinema 4D is primarily a performance release, having shipped just five months after Corona Renderer 4. Chaos Czech – previously Render Legion, prior to its acquisition by Chaos Group – has released Corona Renderer 5 for Cinema 4D, its latest update to the renderer, adding a new 2.5D displacement system.
