Corona Renderer 1.5 for Autodesk 3ds Max 2012-2017
>> See Also: Free Download Corona Materials
New Features:Interactive LightMix is unique to Corona Renderer and lets you adjust intensity and color of your lights and light emitting materials during and after render – perfect for anything from subtle adjustments through to turning day into night.
VFB features such as bloom, glare, filmic tone mapping, vignette, and saturation give you much more creative control over the end result, reducing your need to rely on post-production software.
LUTs have been added to the VFB so that you can load .cube and .3dl LUT files to apply to your renders. The CoronaOutput map now also supports LUT processing, which can be used to apply LUTs to a bitmap or procedural map for use in your materials.
Corona Distance Map lets you create “smart” materials that know how far away they are from objects in the scene. Use this to add waves around a coastline, wear-and-tear where objects meet, dirt and noise under window sills, and more.
Smaller Improvements
-CoronaMtls can now be displayed directly in the viewport: Corona materials can now be displayed in the viewport with visible textures.
- Making refraction glossy no longer darkens the material
-Added option to denoise individual render elements
-A checkbox for each render element allows you to enable Denoising for that element.
Added temporal consistency option to Corona Scatter
When the “Distribute on” object is animated, enabling this option will prevent the instances popping in and out of existence across keyframes.
-CoronaOutput map has new controls: brightness, saturation, contrast.
-Non-color mapped render elements (e.g. world position, normals, velocity) are now saved linearly in EXR format
This is due to a limitation in 3ds Max. It also means that for proper saving to LDR, the gamma has to be overridden to 1.0 in the file save dialog.
-Partial support for 3ds Max ART Renderer’s Physical Material added
Most features are supported, with partial support for Clearcoat and Subsurface Scattering. Metalness is not supported.
-Lowered memory footprint when using more than 255 lights
-Unchecking the Cast Shadows property now has a more consistent effect
Changing this setting in the 3ds Max Object Properties dialog now works the same as using the object’s material in a CoronaRaySwitch in all but the GI slots.
-Improved parsing of scenes with a LOT of Scatter instances by about 50%
-New contrast algorithm – works very closely to Photoshop, and does not make the image brighter or darker in general.
-Contrast can now have negative values that lower the original image contrast.
-Color Tint is now accessible from the VFB
This was previously available in the CoronaCameraMod and Camera/Exposure/Tone Mapping rollout in the Render Setup, and is now shown directly in the VFB.
-Corona Proxy Exporter was updated to version 0.96.
-Corona Converter Script was updated to version 1.29.
Corona Renderer 1.5 is freely available to all customers on FairSaaS (monthly, yearly), Box with Subscription and Educational/Student license more information here. The next public Alpha of Corona for C4D

C:\Users\
-Added log information when rendering with Mental Ray. Check it at "Rendering->Render Message Window", or in Backburner logs.
-Fixed rare crash in V-Ray with Fake Shadows.
-Custom Edit uses local axis of each item, instead axis of the Forest object.

Download GeoTracker Beta v5.2 for NUKE
>> See Also: Premultiplication workflows in NUKE
Main Features-Accurate tracking of rigid objects.
-Easy to use. Only important user-dependent parameters are shown in the UI while a lot of hidden parameters are intelligently calculated internally.
-Fast. GeoTracker was developed while working on a film that required a lot of match moving. The crucial task was to speed up the tracking process as much as possible. We believe that GeoTracker significantly reduces the amount of “manual labor”.
-GeoTracker makes it possible to create and adjust tracking information right inside The Foundry Nuke. It can shorten your workflow significantly. You don’t need to switch between applications and perform export/import when some inaccuracies are detected.
-Native. It’s created using all strengths and possibilities of The Foundry Nuke API.
-It’s just a beginning. When using GeoTracker, please keep in mind that it’s only a beta version
What’s New in Beta v5.0
-Changed node type: GeoTracker is geo node now. GeoTracker's output can be used directly and results can be viewed in 3D in the native way.
-Default camera: connecting default camera node is no longer reqired for tracking, positioning, e.t.c. Now an internal default camera, which can be easily exported, is used.
-Minor interface changes and performance improvements.

Features
-Modular 3D particle system for After Effects.-Node based interface to easily build complex systems in a single 3D space.
-Add or replace smart presets in one click.
-Replica, a unique tool to replicate particles in many exciting ways.
-Countless particle effects for both 3D and 2D looks.
-Emitters, Particles, Replica, Forces, Auxiliary Emitters, 3D Models, Text & Mask and Maps.
-Space deformers, Sphere, Box, 3d Models, Bend, Twist, Maps, Black Hole.
-Splines, animatable as paths and emitters.
-Containers to enclose and/or emit particles in a sphere, box or 3D model.
Particles
One Tool, in a single 3D space, all on one layer with endless possibilities. It is a full featured particle system with forces, fields, motion blur, DOF and much more.
Modular
A breakthrough, easy-to-use, node based interface. Start with a preset or create your own nodes. Many emitters, particles and forces can be added, and have them all work in a single 3D space on one layer. This makes it super easy to create simple or complex particle systems to achieve new and exciting results.
Replica
Rethink what a particle system can do! Create beautiful motion graphics by replicating particles in many ways. With Replica you can create unique designs: organic, techy, the options are limitless.
Spheres, boxes, 3d models, displacement maps and more can be used to push, pull, enclose, color and move particles around. Black hole nodes can be used to attract particles over time.
Smart Presets
The easy-to-use smart preset browser allows you to load an entire setup, node or single parameter with a single click. There are loads of stunning presets to choose from. You can also replace your existing node tree with a preset in one click.
Splines
Defined using After Effect's lights, create 3D lines or particle emitting 3D paths to create looks not easily achieved otherwise.
Grids
With Stardust's unique and easy-to-use modular workflow grids can be used as a starting point for endless options and dazzling results.
Particles can be emitted or enclosed along a 3D model's vertices or volume.
Text & Mask
Particles can be emitted from live text and masks, either from their volume or edges. Paths can then be trimmed, offset and controlled in many ways to create never seen before effects.
All in One Tool
Because of Stardust's ground-breaking node system, you don't need to use a second layer to achieve complex effects. You can add as many nodes and parameters as you need to a single instance on one layer.
There are countless benefits to having everything in a single 3D space. Focus on creating!

He shown some image which has render time reduced from 43:37 to 10:29
-Probabilistic lights are not universal solution for scenes containing huge amounts of lights.
-It’s smart, it adapts to the conditions of scenes and users don’t have to worry about playing with settings as much as they had with Probabilistic lights.
-New approach is more universal and compared to Probabilistic Lights it will be a lot faster.
-More lights = bigger the difference. It will render very fast regardless of number of lights does not matter.
-It’s good to complain that something is slow ;)…
