Closer look at some of the features
Team Render Support
TeamRender is supported for R15+ for both single image and animation rendering. There shouldn’t be any additional limitations, so you can use your current scenes without any change. Just keep in mind that by default, TR clients won’t show license popup asking for activation, so you need to either activate Corona by running full C4D, using our Licensing Server or use manual activation.
VR Camera
Corona Proxy Support
Corona proxy (.cproxy) is now supported in the C4D version. This format is cross-platform, so you can use your .cproxy files from the 3ds Max version.
Mac Version Status
As you may have already noticed, this alpha version does not come with an OSX installer, but Nik is working day and night on making this happen, re-writing the corona core so OSX (and Linux) is supported in future releases. Corona developers might have the first test renders from OSX standalone in a matter of two or three weeks.
Future Releases?
Corona developers plan to release at least one more free version before the release of the commercial version, but if they will need to release one extra version in between, to improve and test the product further, they will do it. They also intend to release the commercial Mac version alongside the Win version as well.
News from the Non-Development Side of Things
Corona developers are currently working on the new support portal for C4D version, preparing basic tutorials and looking for experienced users who are willing to create some great, more advanced tutorials for C4D plugin. If you feel that you one of them, please get in touch!
