Chaos Czech releases Corona Renderer 6 for 3ds Max, a new update that packs more realism, faster rendering and simpler workflows into six new main features. 

• A new Sky Model can now accurately depict twilight and dawn, now providing results down to 2.85 degrees (or roughly 5.4 sun diameters) below the horizon. Because this model is fully procedural, it is also easy to animate, enabling the simple creation of time-lapse sunrises and sunsets. Multiple skies/suns can be also added to any scene, so artists can toggle through options like dusk and afternoon using LightMix.
• With the Adaptive Environment Sampler, artists can access cleaner, more accurate environment lighting without adding skylight portals. Noise levels are now 2x better, with some tests showing 9x in special cases.
• Corona Renderer 6 also comes with a massive Material Library update that brings 78 additional archviz-ready assets to designers looking for even more photoreal options they can drag-and-drop into their scenes. Three new categories have been added including flooring, carpet and ceramic tiles, along with 13 new additions to the previous concrete library.

Other New Features Include:

• New Bloom and Glare Controls – New lens effects allow greater realism and creativity with the inclusion of lens dust, scratches and more.
• Texture Randomization – Automatically remove tiling artifacts with the new option in the UVWRandomizer for more believability across a scene.
• Phoenix FD Foam Support – Simulate/render foam for more realistic water features (fountains, hot tubs), flowing liquids and more.
