Thank you Tom for the new features walkthrough. Perfect to get a quick overview in a couple of minutes. Keep up the great work. The corona 12 update 1 is once again a awesome update that will boost our creative process.
You are welcome, it was fun to go through everything in the release and I am glad you find it a useful intro! Full deep dives coming up in tutorials of course :) Looking forward to seeing what you come up with using the new features and tools! Tom
Thank you! It's taken me around 12 years to gather the collection together :) And it is good to have hobbies and work/life balance. I'd say I sure do have a good life, getting to work on Corona with the whole Chaos team, and getting to interact with the wonderful Corona community too! Tom
Thank you, very kind words! You are spot on that the programming is our thing, and then it's our users who really bring things to life with what they create :) That's the most exciting part for us! Thanks! Tom
@@ChaosCorona can't wait Ai enhance especially for character and adding some extra detail improvement to the texture or light.. Corona 13 maybe? Great work Corona for this update.. ty
I can't say I disagree, I made a lot of use of them when rendering out images and animations for this video (even the ones not about the automatic exposure and white balance specifically, like some of the caustics ones). Enjoy making use of them! Tom
Thank you for the kind words! Various teams are always considering options around bundling etc. as an ever-ongoing review, but only time will tell if any changes will happen; sorry I don't have more info one way or another at the moment. Tom
We are always looking at ways to improve conversion to Vantage, for sure. Of course some of this has to wait on Vantage itself supporting certain things too :) Thanks! Tom
hello .. usually when install corona i put material library file with installation .. in this update there is no extract for the material file in the installation .. is that mean there is no material library from now ? (offline-method)
The Corona Material Library is now available inside Cosmos, so is no longer part of the Corona install. As noted in the blog at www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12-update-1 , "Removed the Corona Material Library component from Corona installer. If you do not have it installed already, a download button will be shown on opening the Corona Material Library from inside 3ds Max or Cinema 4D." - so once Corona is installed, click on the material library icon/button, and it will come up with the option to download and install it if you still need it separately from using Cosmos. Hope this helps! Tom
This is not an AI enhancer, this is an AI upscaler. Its only purpose is to speed up rendering by 4 times, but reducing the quality (it renders to one half width, one half height - ie one quarter of the pixels so four times faster - and then upscales using the NVIDIA AI Upscaler which has no enhancement). It is only for drafts, as a way of creating quick test animations for example, but not for finals. As for AI Enhancement, like that currently released for Enscape, we'll be looking into that as something we might do next year - you'll see that mentioned in the What's Next on the blog at www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12-update-1 Hope this helps make everything clear :) Thanks! Tom
Nothing in the plan for that at the moment, sorry - you can always post a suggestion (or vote for it, if it's already on there) at our Ideas Portal at chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ . Thanks! Tom
No, no support for Open PBR in this release, sorry. It would definitely have been in the video if there was. The full list of all changes can be seen over on the blog at www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12-update-1 . If you want Open PBR to be considered, do comment or vote on the Ideas Portal where everyone is invited to give their suggestions on what new features they want to see! chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ for that. Thanks! Tom
It's for the Corona VFB - Vantage already had it's own, separate automatic exposure etc. controls that you can set once over in Vantage. Hope this helps! Tom
Hi, this are great improvements! Although, I have an issue with Forest Pack. When scattering lights, these doesn't seem to render at the scene. Is this a bug, or is it up to ITOOsoftware to fix. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the feedback! On the Forest Pack issue, please send in a ticket (support.chaos.com/requests/new ) or in this case you could ask on the forums (forum.corona-renderer.com/ ) and either of those routes will get the question to the support team who can't monitor TH-cam comments - they'll be happy to help! Thanks! Tom
CPU has advantages over GPU in many things, but of course now you have the best of both worlds, with Corona bringing all the CPU benefits, and Vantage bringing all the GPU benefits :) Thanks! Tom
Not all, no - depends mostly on what Vantage has support for. You can find the list of what is compatible at docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+3ds+Max+Features for 3ds Max or docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+Cinema+4D+Features for Cinema 4D. Hope this helps! Tom
"Just" a PS5, which I've had for a long time. The controller moves back and forth between the PS5 for when I want to escape sitting at the computer, and to the PC for when I want to do some PC gaming :) The PS5 Pro isn't worth it to me ,to pay all that all over again when I already have a regular PS5 lol! Cheers! Tom
Because we have to record these in advance, as early as possible, to fit it all in - otherwise you'd have to wait a week after release for a release video ;) Thanks! Tom
That's crazy Vantage is $1000 how is live link a corona update ? That's way to expensive ! Bit thin on the actual engine updates it's mainly updates for third party features. It would be great if I could get a perpetual license I could have skipped the last couple of updates and saved money.
Actual engine updates - faster caustics, caustics through volumes (possible in very very few engines), automatic exposure, automatic white balance, improved white balance algorithm, ability to use Cloud Collaboration (which has no extra charge so can be counted now as part of Corona), AI Image Upscaling, Scatter Distribution Presets, and then all the smaller improvements and bug fixes listed on the blog at www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12-update-1 (around maybe 100 of those or so). So there is a lot there even if you have no interest in Vantage :) Hope this helps! Tom
No, as Corona 13's content has not been decided upon yet - we have lots of ideas, but we all need to sit down and turn that into an actual plan (which could only happen after this release is out). Whatever gets put in the final plan, it will be some good stuff, we have lots of ideas for 2025 :) Thanks! Tom
Correct - because during the daily build process, it was named Corona 13 (as those who tried out the daily builds will confirm, and you can see on the daily build threads at forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=43295.0 :) ). The build only got renamed to the final Corona 12 Update 1 for the Release Candidates, and I had to start recording things well before then in order to have everything ready. So in other words, what you are seeing here are older versions of the daily build, now replaced by the newer and more complete final build. Thanks! Tom
It's something we will be looking into for next year (as mentioned in the What's Next section of the blog ;) www.chaos.com/blog/corona-12-update-1 ). Thanks! Tom
Sorry, there will never be a Corona GPU (reasons already given many times, primarily GPU always has some limitations even with today's technology and Corona is focused on the ultimate in realism, plus it would take years of development which would cause the main Corona development to slow down and we are not willing to do that since the CPU version is still very much required and we wouldn't want to have 2 years of no development there). Of course, you DO have GPU now, because you can send the scene to Vantage and end up with the best of both worlds - the full quality, ultimate realism Corona render, and a GPU render for whatever you need that for (projects where realism is less of a concern, quicker drafts and tests, exploring the scene in real-time to find camera angles, etc.), all without having to rebuild the scene entirely separately. Hope this helps! Tom

omg, each of these updates from the .cxr save to the volumetric caustics are incredible. Love it! Great work team!
Thank you for the kind words! I look forward to seeing what you all create now with these new abilities at your disposal! Thanks! Tom
@@ChaosCorona Cheers Tom!
Waiting for Vantage Live Link and it's finally here! Thanks!
You are welcome, hope we didn't keep you waiting for too long! :) Tom
Finally! So many good news! This sparked more hope in me! :D
We're happy to be the bearers of hope! Thank you for the kind words :) Tom
Unbelievable set of features!!! great work!!!
Thank you, great to see your excitement about the release! We hope you enjoy using it! Tom
Volumetric caustics are just amazing! New possibilities for artistic atmospheric works👍🥳
I had a lot of fun testing these, just the kind of thing that I love :) Looking forward to seeing what all of you can create with this! Tom
@@ChaosCorona It remains to wait for good lessons on how to use it😀
We're working on those :) Tom
@@ChaosCorona This is great, Tom! I wish you more art lessons like Lee Griggs with Arnold😄
FINALLLYYY VANTAGE LIVE LINK !!
Enjoy! Tom
@@ChaosCorona can't wait Ai enhance especially for character and adding some extra detail improvement to the texture or light.. Corona 13 maybe? Great work Corona for this update.. ty
Can't say for sure when the AI Enhancer will come across, but we're definitely looking into it :) Tom

I can't say I disagree, I made a lot of use of them when rendering out images and animations for this video (even the ones not about the automatic exposure and white balance specifically, like some of the caustics ones). Enjoy making use of them! Tom
Looks like a great release. Well done, Corona team!
Thank you (from the whole team)!
Another great update Corona team!! Would there be any chance of adding vantage into the corona premium subscription like pheonix FD??!
Thank you for the kind words! Various teams are always considering options around bundling etc. as an ever-ongoing review, but only time will tell if any changes will happen; sorry I don't have more info one way or another at the moment. Tom
I can¨t use Corona, "cause I don¨t use 3dmax,...but your guitars are awesome !!!
Keep on rocking:)))
I hope you consider modifying the material converter crown to get a more complete Vantage conversion.
We are always looking at ways to improve conversion to Vantage, for sure. Of course some of this has to wait on Vantage itself supporting certain things too :) Thanks! Tom
Well done team, Corona Rocks! Hi Tom!
Thank you for the kind words! And hi right back atcha! :) Tom
Thank you 🙏❤
You are welcome! Tom
Большое спасибо за вашу работу, очень классные новости!
And thank you very much for your kind words :) Glad to hear you like the update! Tom

A renderer that can produce the most perfect output with Cinema4d
Very kind words indeed, thank you! Tom
Is the ai enhancer is the same as enscape? And is it for animations only or does it support still images, great update as usual well done 👏🏻
This is not an AI enhancer, this is an AI upscaler. Its only purpose is to speed up rendering by 4 times, but reducing the quality (it renders to one half width, one half height - ie one quarter of the pixels so four times faster - and then upscales using the NVIDIA AI Upscaler which has no enhancement).

I hope Corona has VFB feature like Vray with cryptomate mask.
Nothing in the plan for that at the moment, sorry - you can always post a suggestion (or vote for it, if it's already on there) at our Ideas Portal at chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ . Thanks! Tom
Does Corona this update support `Open PBR' which has just been added to 3dsMax 2025.3 ?
No, no support for Open PBR in this release, sorry. It would definitely have been in the video if there was.

Automatic Exposure and White Balance works for Corona buffer or for Vantage ?
It's for the Corona VFB - Vantage already had it's own, separate automatic exposure etc. controls that you can set once over in Vantage. Hope this helps! Tom

Hmm, I used to use Corona. I liked it a lot. But it feels a bit stuck in the past, with no gpu support.
CPU has advantages over GPU in many things, but of course now you have the best of both worlds, with Corona bringing all the CPU benefits, and Vantage bringing all the GPU benefits :) Thanks! Tom
Thanks to the team. But There is no update on render speed and ram management , developers should focus on these also
Thank you for the feedback! We'll be looking into settling on our plans for 2025 soon, so it is good to hear what people are hoping for. Tom
Thanks Toms
You are most welcome, glad you enjoyed the video :) Tom
Merci pour cet udpate
You are welcome! Tom
Can it transfer 3ds max animation to vantage
Can all Corona maps be used with Vantage live link?
Not all, no - depends mostly on what Vantage has support for. You can find the list of what is compatible at docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+3ds+Max+Features for 3ds Max or docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+Cinema+4D+Features for Cinema 4D. Hope this helps! Tom
With that controller 🕹️, I wonder if Mr. Grimes has bought the new Playstation 5 pro? Or is it PC gamer Master Race? 🤔🤔
