Export of the Corona to Vantage scene. Use Chaos Vantage to import your Corona scenes and render test shots quickly. Use Vantage to create animations and take advantage of the blazingly quick GPU real-time rendering.
Decals with a curve. Bend labels around curved bottles and spherical objects with ease and without distortion.
VFB 2, or the New Virtual Frame Buffer. Make use of the new VFB capabilities, including as deferred bloom and glare calculations, numerous LightMix settings within a single render, and enhanced A/B image comparison.
Enhancements to Corona Pattern. Use Corona Pattern to create new, astonishingly realistic materials. Now that the crop box's shape can be defined by geometric objects, designers can use techniques like snapping and more to create the ideal pattern.
For 3ds Max, use the Corona Scatter Instance Brush. Using a brush tool to enhance procedural instances, you can have complete creative control over the scattering process.
Corona Sky upgrades. Increase the realism of day-to-night transitions by utilizing even lower sun angles.
New Corona Sky Density parameter. Just click to customize your cloud density.
The availability of the Corona Material Library on Chaos Cosmos will help you save time while transferring across asset libraries.
Experience a more efficient workflow with the latest version of Cryptomatte by material.

Veras 5.3 introduces NODES, a visual workflow builder now in Beta that lets users generate parametric geometry and bake it directly into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp. The system shifts Veras from rendering-first to a full generative design platform with interactive design tools.
SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
Maxon's Redshift 2027.0 cuts render times by up to 15% through memory optimization and adds official Archicad integration alongside improved materials and live feedback tools.
Blender 5.3 arrives November 10 with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, an AI-powered denoiser for Cycles that works on RTX 20–50 series cards. The upgrade promises faster interactive lighting workflows at near-final quality.
Chaos released V-Ray for Blender 7.4 with Windows ARM64 compatibility, Phoenix Ocean textures for exterior scenes, Quick Sun Caustics for realistic lighting, and tools to organize large asset libraries and migrate from Blender's native renderer.
Maxon's October 2026 release adds procedural vegetation scattering, reworked GPU memory management in Redshift, and liquid simulation—streamlining environment work and viewport iteration for archviz studios.
A free community plugin now lets 3ds Max users with older GPUs access neural rendering via DLSS 5, potentially speeding up renders without hardware upgrades.
SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
In this walkthrough, we guide you through the process of building a polished 3D interior scene inspired by the cover of Archmodels vol. 306 – Table Sets.
