Hello fellow Corona users,
I wish to share my test and WIP renders in this thread. I’ll start with tonights test render of metallic gears. I smacked together some gear models just to get started rendering with Corona. Haha, I really wanted to get going tonight.
This uses a basic metal shader, and took 8 minutes to reach 200 samples on a i7-5820K.
I will post more renders as I progress with Corona. I have posted here before, back when the alpha was a thing, but now I have also jumped on the full version, and hope to create lots of nice work with Corona
Thanks for a great and friendly business model, and a high quality renderer.
Attempt at simple interior scene, first 4 WIP images.
I really like the mood of the last rendering. The shadow play on the wall is interesting. Did you use an HDRI? Because I think it is hard to get such nice shadows from the CoronaSun.
Aside from that I don’t like the furniture, but that’s a personal thing. And is it possible that the chair is sunken into the floor? 
Thanks, yes that is absolutely an HDRI. It does create some lovely shadows. Yes, chair is indeed intersecting, and has been fixed
Currently working on shading objects sitting on the table. Starting with the lamp.
Cool. Did you use ArionFX for the glow?
Yep 
Testing with some liquid interaction, and I seem to get loads of noise even at 1700 passes, especially in the liquid.
