Why I Switched From V-Ray to Corona in 3ds max?

[@CGDeluxe]

Great video again! I Swithced from VRay to Corona in 2017 and it has transformed my work in Architectural Visualization. Much faster setup to render scenes saves soo much time. The light-mix is great being able to tweek lights while rendering or interactive. A good tip is to roughtly preset your lights correctly before light mix so that the lightmix setting is roughly 1 in frame buffer resulting in fewer fireflys and unwanted noise. Also my buddy went to Corona for the offical training and they are a really nice bunch of cool people to deal with.

[@ExacoMvm]

There are few arguable things: 1:27 V-Ray has alot of settings, but it's for full control to make the renders super optimized and fast ( also super biased ) , normally it's just 3 settings to worry about: Noise Threshold, Min and Max subdivs. 1:34 It's good for newbies, but not much for experienced people, also Max has built-in material library in the Slate editor also V-Ray has plugins like Siger Shaders which imo has way better quality materials. I personally never use material presets ( except for draft projects or if it's my own presets ). 2:03 V-Ray wins hands down for the VFB. Corona has no OCIO :C 2:24 That's totally false but i've used Octane and FStorm and i know exactly what you're talking about, however for most part it's just an illusion as the Math behind is +- exact same. /watch?v=UwjVbRYoDZ0 What i personally like in Corona is the Hemisphere HDRI ( ground projection ) option which is very nice for Automotive renders or lets say some props.

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thanks for giving us your point. Regarding your last point, there should be something as most of my 3d artist friends say the same thing, I don't know about the technical side though ;)

[@moonjoe4224]

Siger Shaders are available for Corona as well

[@nikelombambo]

NO OCIO?? Enough said.. V-Ray it is then.. What's your opinion on Arnold renderer?

[@aarishfreelancer]

I am using v-ray since 10 years ...but when it comes to interior or architecture scenes corona beat v-ray....but when it comes to dyanmic or animation or particles scene v-ray beats corona....❤️...but if u ask me which u preferred to use... I suggest corona because i am an interior designer 😀😀

[@er.umarkhan]

You switched from Vray to Corona.! Because corona is trending.. 😂 😂

[@iampeaceful]

I use Vray. I will always use vray. It has become like a religion for me :D... I like corona I was even thinking of switching to corona. But there was this one project where I had to render glass and the result I was getting by vray was much more realistic compared to the result from the corona. I even took help from a long time corona user he couldn't do much. So I like vray as much of the online library which I use for models are Vray supported also render time is a very crucial thing for me. Render time equals money. With lower budget projects, lower render times are very significant... And nowadays here in India clients by default start with a conversation like there's no budget in this project, we will give you good money in the next project.

[@Jez1963UK]

Atique Mujawar just out of curiosity, do you pay for software ? In India I suspect many don’t.

[@MauroSanna]

That's weird. Glass materials are one of the weak points of V-Ray and a strong one of Corona. Something doesn't add up here.

[@Jez1963UK]

@@MauroSanna Why do you say Glass is one of V-Ray's weak points ? Never heard that one before.

[@MauroSanna]

@@Jez1963UK Perhaps you have never been on the official forum or in any cgi group, where V-Ray users like myself discuss about the engine (and not only that). The glass material is one of the things that all V-Ray users constantly complain about. It's simply not on par with what other rendering engines (Corona, Arnold, Octane, Redshift, to name few) can produce. That's why you never heard of this, I guess. To get a decent glass quality in V-Ray you have to work harder than with Corona (or the others I mentioned). There are also other things inferior in V-Ray, not just the glass.

[@Jez1963UK]

@@MauroSanna I don't believe glass is an issue with V-Ray, it is easy to create, but I don't know your specific problem with it. I do frequent the Chaosgroup forum, and am pretty active on there. I also hold accreditation with Chaos as being credited with enhancing their V-Ray VFB UI with my idea, so I am pretty active and involved. I've been using V-Ray for 12 years and 3DS Max for 20+ from Dos R3. I'm still keen to know exactly what is your issue and difficulty with creating glass using v-ray.

[@threedstar]

Hi I have been a very user for the past 14 years but after seeing your video i decided to give corona a try and amazingly I started to love it !!! It's giving very good results in a much lower time.I really love the light mix feature:) Thanks for your video👍

[@habibkavoosi6596]

I'm a corona user too. Exactly because everything you said 👍

[@DatNguyen-ms9db]

Completely agreed with you. Besides, there’s lot of things to add up: Corona select material and maps, multiple environments and sun. Can resume render after stop it. Much easier animation workflows. Especially easily to exclude objects in particular scene using camera exclusion. And finally, I’ve never seen a Vray renders that capture the mood perfectly as same as Corona (Yes I’ve been working in his field for 6 years).

[@erfanhabibpour5949]

I use Vray for C4d and I don't think that I'll ever be switching to another render engine. I think V ray is the god of render engines.

Long time VRay user, I tried Corona. Wasn't really impressed and switch back after 1 project. It's a nice software but add nothing to the table apart from maybe ease of use if you don't have a lot of experience with VRay. It was 3 years ago and a lot of small features were lacking too.

[@rasheddadoush8029]

I was v-ray user for 16year ago and I found Corona better than Vray ... Better in results and helping my time .. Vray sometimes is sucks to fixing some projects and wasting my time all over the way but its cool anyway . its like my grandmother .old and need to update all data's. However and 3ds max for others is sucks it must update to look a contemporary

[@krassihg]

Once I moved to Corona, I never looked back. So much easy and friendly interface. The only drawback I would say is the need for more RAM memory for large scenes. Corona is using the processor power, not the graphics card power, and if you happen to have a heavy scene, you need a lot of RAM. One thing that always annoyed me in V-ray was the endless options and places to check, or un-check. The more buttons to click, more work and time wasted. Corona spares time by optimizing all the settings, so you almost have nothing to worry about. I am sure V-ray will catch up, but for now, I would stick with Corona.

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thanks for sharing ;)

[@DatNguyen-ms9db]

Same. From Vray to Corona. I only come back to Vray when it comes to large scale projects like master plan. Beside it has nothing to compare with Corona, everything Vray can do, Corona does it better and even more.

@@DatNguyen-ms9db I can say the same with you ? I've used V-Ray for over 10 years (3DS Max for 20 years). V-Ray is the best. Yes, I have used Corona and it is very good, no doubt. But then so is FStorm, and so is Octane, Arnold, Renderman etc etc. You pays your money and you makes your choice. V-Ray is intimidating for new users, that I know. And a lot of people just want things to be simple. I get that. But I paid for V-Ray, and keep paying. I'm very happy with it. I don't need another renderer and nor do I need to pay for another renderer ! And in any case, as you know, Chaos own Corona :) So it's a win for everybody as the technology and ideas are being crossed-over. V-Ray 5 looks like a good step in that direction with the proposed improvements, not least of all, Light Mix and Builtin Materials. Keep rendering!

Corona is great and quick, but I found vray better at capturing very small details such as thin grooves on a door, I was unable to capture these while using corona.

Sorry but the tools in both renders are just a helper against the eye what it recognizes....

Despite having a simple layout, the corona is heavy( render time compared to vray. I can make renders much faster on the vray than on the corona, and with the same or better quality. ), and does not give me the freedom to edit crucial parameters to optimize my render as I would like.

For sure Corona has better Cinematic colour and contrast properties compare to Vray, but the problem comes when it's about the hardware since Corona is a CPU based render engine, in case We want to upgrade the hardware,We have to go for a new CPU which at times might require a new motherboard too if the CPU is very high-end, but the advantage about GPU renderer is that you can just add an extra graphics card and you have added an extra powerhouse to your machine. Hence using Vray as a GPU or Hybrid renderer definitely speeds up the process and we all know time is money. Finally, it is all about the project we are working on, for time demanding projects maybe we should use Octane/Vray/Redshift but if we have time to render a shot for long, why not use Corona :)

[@juanpa144]

Absolutely agree!

[@nokia6630videos]

I mean logically speaking if the engine gives higher quality it will take more time to render, its not something we should complain about, kinda similar to when people complain that high end laptops are heavier... Ya'll want magic...

Hello, how do I resolve an invalid Corona render license in 3ds Max?

[@sanobp1107]

Dear mam, any corona tutorial links to share, as my pc have only 8gb ram and 2gb graphic card will corona support,?

[@ArchVizArtist]

8gb ram is not enough I think.

[@bakilorein440]

Ava do you know any tutorials i can find to learn 3ds max? Im going to study 3d animation and i want to learn a little bit before i go this year

[@francescogregorace8465]

Check arrimus3D on you tube. He has a series on his channel that starts from the basics. That’s how I learnt 3ds max. Good stuff

I have started working for a new company and they use vray. As a long time corona user I am really missing it a lot. Vray is so confusing there are way too many settings and it's far too easy to click something by mistake in them and completely screw up your scene. I also find it much slower

[@alvaro_arquitecto]

Corona Render works with Sketchup?

[@bisvizstudio1242]

yo if I want to switch to corona, I need to learn 3dsmax too because right now I'm using Sketchup and Vray as my main renderer.

[@ArchVizArtist]

I see.. I wish you luck ;)

[@deathblade909]

i was using corona for a while, then tried vray again. Went back to corona. I do not have the time to mess with settings.

[@ArchVizArtist]

True :)

[@WaseemOnlines]

I have the same story, light mix let me move to corona... I think you forgot one another important tool which is corona converter which lets the beginner easily move to corona without thinking how to use lights and mats that he already set from another render engine. But now it seems vray 5 invent light mix which may be the same of corona..

[@ArchVizArtist]

You're right ;) We use corona converter a lot (we have most of the models with V-Ray materials). Actually we are testing a new V-Ray 5 right now, we will do a video about it asap (hopefully on Saturday ;)

[@WaseemOnlines]

@@ArchVizArtist Thant will be great. Thank you.

[@ronniecunha2225]

I prefer VRay because I have control of everything.
