Chaoes licence server is going crazy on Windows (I need reinstall from time to time)

I like the simplicity, it is easier than vray and more realistic i think based on my view and what i have seen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont like the fact that is only for 3dsmax and not other platform, i mainly use rhino and i have to ise other platforms for rendering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The quality of materials and illumination that chaos corona provide is incredible, i worked using others softwares for rendering projects and none of them made me have such joy to work with like corona. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time of render, sometimes when in a rurry it can be a problem, since exist others softwares that can render a lot of images in a few minutes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corona is very easy to handle and allows you to quickly achieve satisfactory results while offering a real possibility to create complex materials and scenes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a few options missing in Corona, such as proper support for baking or even a toon shader (not to mention the GPU rendering that will probably never arrive). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and delivers photorealistic renders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need Grid lines option on the Interactive, I get sked to put an item in the middle and there is no way to do it except downloading scripts for 3dsmax that get bugged out most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the best the variety of textures provided by the library and the easy use of the materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the big amount of time it takes for rendering to be complete, especially for animations, but it's understandable giving that the renders are very high quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy way to use lights and scatter and multipass channel. The cosmos is very useful can not work without it. The stability of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t find many disadvantages in using Corona; I’m very satisfied with it and, in any case, I’m not very familiar with other software. Corona has very few flaws, which I can’t really point out at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comfortable ergonomics and easy of use , the ability to select your favorite materials and models, easy of implementation in project, easy of integration with V-ray. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of opportunity to use downloaded materials and models without the internet, no possibility to zoom materials in Chaos Corona. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Out of any render engines, the one I've used the most is Corona. I honestly love how user friendly it is particularlly regarding it's learning curve. The library of assets helps you populate your scenes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The market seems to believe raytracing is king. Express render engines are getting better and better at giving higher-end (corona-like) results, but way faster.

Rendering an animation takes days, or even weeks which is quite worrying for a free-lance architect that would rather not have to pay for a renderfarm, but instead test out the renders in house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
