Shortly after the release of Corona 9, the development of Corona 10 is already on the Corona team's agenda. These scenes are currently internal test scenes only, but all features are now in daily build Corona 10, daily build for 3ds Max, and will soon appear in C4D.What's new in Corona 10?The clouds system added in Corona 9 can only be used in realistc mode with the sun, and the color of the sun is defined by its angle in the sky. But the new feature is that you can use clouds with the sun in direct input mode, where you can select an arbitrary color by yourself.Image via ChaosAnother new feature is that now the corona camera knows what medium it is in, and this applies to it being inside a certain volumetric material. You can also give the camera a size and display that size in the viewport. This is handy for having the camera half inside and half outside a volume.Image via ChaosAnother effect is that the camera can now fly through volumetric materials, such as open vdbs and Phoenix simulations.Image via ChaosCorona 9 allows you to access chaos scanned materials. New feature is that you can drag and drop scanned materials into Corona from the File Explorer. Triplanar mapping will be supported, and then you can also customize bump and displacement to materials. Materials can be previewed in the 3ds Max viewport.Image via ChaosThe rendering of caustics for IR resolution images played in the background has been improved.Image via ChaosRendering time has also been improved when you use Corona's render selected option. When you use the render selected option to render just an object, it can show up to a 600 percent increase in speed.Image via ChaosLearn more from Corona 10 daily builds for 3ds Max.Here is the official video for you to learn more:As a leading cloud rendering service provider and render farm, Fox Renderfarm is also a partner of Chaos and supports Corona rendering.

About Chen Liankai:Chen Liankai is a perfectionist. He’s been working in the VFX industry for five years and has, in that time, created animations and architectural visualizations for the Wongtee Plaza building, Zhongzhou Tower, Hanking Center, Bao An Urban Planning Exhibition Center, and many, many more. He currently puts his strong leadership skills to practice at Silkroad Digital Vision, where he leads the production department.Can you tell us about your CG pipeline?Chen Liankai: We are mainly using 3ds Max. Our basic pipeline is Modeling > Storyboard > Previz > Production > Rendering.Is there a project that you’re most proud of?CL: Hanking Center, Shenzhen Bay T7 Tower, Wongtee Plaza and CR City have been relatively great projects for us.What are the biggest challenges you face?CL: The biggest challenge is when we’re matching and compositing 3D visual effects with uniquely-shaped screens for VFX exhibitions and performances. In practice, we’ll create a digital version of an exhibition hall and unfold the screens’ UVs to simulate and test the content. This helps us to ensure the VFX and animation performance is dynamic and spatial, and that it provides an immersive visual experience.Which features in V-Ray do you find the most useful?CL: V-Ray has a variety of technical setups to help us achieve our desired looks. Plus, it has realistic physically based lighting as well as a rich assets library. It also works well with other software such as Multiscatter, Ployfx, Phoenix and others, which just makes it very convenient and efficient.Have there been any big changes you’ve noticed through using different versions of V-Ray?CL: We noticed that the GPU rendering feature has made tremendous progress in newer versions and we are looking forward to the continued future development.You also teach classes through Silkroad Digital Vision. Which courses are the most popular?CL: Any training in technical skills, as well as tutorials about the likes of composition rules, are very popular. It’s all closely related to our practical work and helps us to clarify the direction of the post-production workflow and improve our efficiency.What are your thoughts on real-time rendering?CL: We will gradually migrate to GPU real-time rendering. It's much faster. We’ll, therefore, have more time to focus on production and design. It will actually be used in some shots in the CR City project.What are your plans for future CG production workflow?CL: I have great expectations for V-Ray Next for 3ds Max. Since Chaos Group and Render Legion are now combined forces, I'm expecting many new features and new functions to come.What do you think about RenderBus/Fox Renderfarm?CL: RenderBus/Fox Renderfarm is comprehensive and the 24/7 service team provides timely feedback, helping us to deliver work on time. I'm looking forward to continued cooperation with RenderBus/Fox Renderfarm.

2018 must be a big year for Fox Renderfarm, we sincerely hope to cooperate with more 3d software and renderer companines as much as we can, that's why we communicate with them so positively and discuss about the future cooperations and benefits for both parties. Here is the detail interview with Iavor Trifonov from Chaos Group as below: Iavor Trifonov, Vice-President Cloud & Integrations Chaos GroupFox Renderfarm:  Since the establishment of V-Ray in 1997, the growth and global presence of V-Ray has gained attention from various industries, especially CG industry. Tell us more about V-Ray's global influence and users usage worldwide.Chaos Group: From the very beginning, our goal has been to help people visualize anything and everything. And this means more than just pushing the technology. V-Ray is a result of listening to and working with artists and designers directly. It’s important to really understand the daily challenges creatives face and see what we can do with our development to help, and move rendering forward. Today, V-Ray is prominent in multiple industries worldwide. V-Ray’s Academy Award-winning rendering technology is still developed with the same goal of helping artists and designers.Fox Renderfarm: Share with us about V-Ray's current brand awareness and situation in China.Chaos Group: V-Ray is very popular in the architectural visualization industry in China, but people probably aren’t as familiar with our company name — Chaos Group. There are many resources online for learning V-Ray, and the V-Ray community is very supportive. Our main developers are also very involved online since we take feedback very seriously. The new V-Ray Next for 3ds Max beta is the latest example of how we listen to our customers, and work to provide features that save time and hopefully make your life a little easier.Fox Renderfarm:  Share with us regarding the product development strategy and promotion in the near future?Chaos Group: At the moment, our key development revolves around the completely upgraded and optimized rendering inside of V-Ray Next. We’ve already got a few blog posts actually that highlight some of the new features of V-Ray Next and there are more articles in the works. You’ll also see us at events worldwide and this year we’re excited to host our very own special event dedicated to artists and developers - Total Chaos.Fox Renderfarm:  How about your thoughts on cloud rendering service and how it can benefit CG artists?Chaos Group: Cloud rendering is something that gives the smallest studios the same firepower that big studios have enjoyed for some time now. Anyone’s computer can be a supercomputer, thanks to the ease and power of cloud computing. Deadlines are inescapable in a studio environment, and having access to rendering in the cloud can take a lot of pressure off. Plus you don’t have to worry about large hardware expenses, not to mention maintenance. This also frees up computers for design work, and costs related to cloud rendering are easily tracked and can be billed by the job.Fox Renderfarm:  How can Chaos Group work with Fox Renderfarm and what are the benefits that Chaos Group can offer to Fox Renderfarm's customers?Chaos**group: Fox Renderfarm is one of Chaos** Group’s main render farm partners in China as well as in Asia. As an authorized partner, Fox Renderfarm receives dedicated support from Chaos Group both in terms of account management and technical optimization expertise. This allows Fox to react quickly when helping customers and resolve even the most complex workflow issues with the help of Chaos Group’s developers.Moreover, Chaos Group and Fox are also looking to partner on initiatives related to the educational institutions in China which will lead to opening excellent opportunities to thousands of Chinese students interested in becoming V-Ray professionals. Boosting the awareness of V-Ray among Chinese users from as early stage in their professional careers as possible together with expanding the availability of Chaos Group’s products across China is at the very core of the partnership between both companies. We’re excited to have such a strong partner in China and we look forward to helping the CG industry in China with Fox Renderfarm.Fox Renderfarm:  Originally started as Atmos Blender, then the first release of V-Ray for 3ds Max in 2002. Up to date, various mainstream 3D software is well-supported by V-Ray. V-Ray has been around with us for almost 21 years! Tell us about the new features and highlights of V-Ray that we can look forward to in 2018?Chaos**group**: We don’t want to reveal too much yet, but we’re very excited about the V-Ray for Unreal beta which just recently started. We’ll have more big news in regards to other V-Ray Next products in the near future to share with you as well!(Check our interview with MAXON and Isotropix if you are interested.)
