What attracted me to Corona in the first place was its simplicity. It just felt a lot easier to use than many of the other render engines I have used in the past.
I remember telling my girlfriend (also a 3D artist at Brick) about this new render engine, and she tried it out before me. Right from the first try she managed to do a really nice interior image with not one but two different moods using LightMix. I was hooked. I started watching tutorials, gave it a try, and fell in love.
I always enjoy working with LightMix. It lets me set up different lighting configurations for different images without having to add multiple lights to the scene and re-render them. All I have to do is turn lights on or off or change their colors in the LightMix list, and, best of all, I can save an infinite number of images without having to re-render them.
The raw renders out of Corona have made our compositing a lot faster because what we get from the render is so nice.
I was ultimately very satisfied with the time vs. quality trade-off of Corona’s denoiser.
Thanks to the Corona Decal object, enhancing scenes with details is simplified to just adding a decal to a surface, adjusting it with a few clicks… and voilà!
