Corona to Vantage Live Link (initial implementation)

Explore your scenes in real time with Vantage Live Link. Now, every change you make in 3ds Max or Cinema 4D is automatically updated in the Live Link viewport giving you a GPU-based alternative to Interactive Rendering. With Vantage Live Link you can easily look for new camera angles, adjust lighting, arrange your scene, set up some aspects of materials, and more.

Note: With the new version of Live Link coming in in future releases, users will be able to render DCC animations in Vantage and send Scatter updates more efficiently.

Caustics got even better.

Faster Caustics

Caustics now look around twice as good in the same rendering time. The more Caustics affect your scene, the greater the speed boost you'll notice.

Caustics Surface Multiplier

With the new Caustics Surface Multiplier, you can easily adjust caustic intensity in the Beauty pass—no need for render elements or post-processing to achieve your desired results.

Volumetric Caustics

Create breathtaking stills and animations with the new Caustics visible through volumetric materials. With this new feature, you can enable the visibility of reflected or refracted rays created from Caustics as they pass through water, smoke, and more.

Jump-start your scene with auto Exposure and White Balance.

Automatic Exposure

Easily set up your scene with the new auto Exposure checkbox in the VFB. It works like a modern camera, and you can make additional adjustments using standard Exposure controls or by baking it into the tone mapping.

Automatic & enhanced White Balance

White Balance can now be automatically set in the VFB. The improved algorithm provides a more natural look to your scenes. For compatibility, only new scenes will use the auto White Balance by default, while existing scenes retain their original settings.

Create test animations faster.

AI Image Upscaling

Quickly render test animations and achieve more responsive results in Interactive Rendering with the new AI Image Upscaling. Powered by NVIDIA’s AI Upscaler, it can give you up to 4x faster rendering. Please note, this feature is designed for test animations only, as it lacks temporal consistency and may result in noticeable flickering.

Detail your scenes more easily.
