Chaos Group aquires Corona Renderer!

Chaos Group welcomes Ondra, Adam, Jaroslav and the entire Render Legion team to Chaos Group! .
 
The first thing you should know is both Corona and V-Ray are here to stay. Both products will continue to be developed independently by the same teams that you’ve come to trust, with the same level of innovation that you’ve come to expect. Now both teams can share ideas, research and technology to make both renderers as powerful as possible.

Render Legion comes from that same mindset, which makes it easy for Chaos Group to work towards the same vision.

The entire Render Legion team, and the Corona Renderer, are now a part of Chaos Group. 

Why did Chaos Group acquire Render Legion?

Render Legion is a brilliant team, and we share the same passion and vision. By working together, we can make both V-Ray and Corona better — in ways we couldn’t do alone. - Chaos Group Press release

Will Render Legion continue to develop the Corona Renderer?

Yes. The core Render Legion team will continue to develop the Corona Renderer with full support of Chaos Group. 

Will Chaos Group continue to develop V-Ray?

Yes. V-Ray will continue to be a core component of Chaos Group.

What’s next?

Chaos Group is already working with the Render Legion team to make Corona and V-Ray even better. For example,  DMC sampler will be in Corona 1.7, and Chaos Group is already optimizing V-Ray’s dome light with the help of the Render Legion team. And that’s just the beginning.

In general, it’s still business as usual. You still buy both products from the same places; you still talk to the same people; the only update is now everything is under one roof.
