While some people have already panicked, Chaos Group representatives assure them: Everything will remain as it was. Corona’s entire development team will be taken over and may continue working on the renderer. And for the time being, nothing is supposed to change with V-Ray either. Both products can continue to be purchased through the familiar channels.
Stronger Together?
However, it can already be read from Chaos Group’s press release that a number of synergy effects are planned. It says that the DMC Sampler is to be included in Corona Release 1.7. The Render Legion team is also helping to improve V-Ray’s Dome Light. What else is in the pipeline will crystallise over the next few months.
