In nuce: Blender artist Adilkhan Yakubov has ported the Corona Renderer for Blender. The popular Corona renderer is now also available to Blender users.
What do you need? To use the port, you need Blender 3.0 or 3.1. Support for Blender 3.2 is already available, but still limited (see: Alpha status).
Background information on the Blender port: Adilkhan’s port of the Corona renderer is based on the Corona renderer from Chaos. The port is currently under development, which is why some features are still a long way off. However, the port is already receiving regular updates. According to Adilkhan’s post on the Blender Artist forum, five major updates are to be released within the next three months, thanks to which the Corona renderer for Blender will be further improved. In his post, Adilkhan also says that he wants to incorporate the features that come with the release of the upcoming version 8 of the Corona Renderer into his Blender port.
