Corona Renderer for Sketchup
-
I'm not doubting Thea's potential or reasons why it's so popular here. It's just that I'm probably the super impatient type and cannot wait for instant renders. Perhaps I should personally invest in a proper and real workstation after all. The office recently spent Euro$10k on the 3D Max / VRAY machine. It renders like a true workhorse able to pump out a forest in minutes. When we get to that stage of speed, I start to believe that photorealism matters, and that's where some renderers are better than others. I kind of stumbled into Corona after reading this blog post :

I'm guessing you used TR1 in Thea, try Presto MC, you'll be surprised

do note that my PC has no CUDA or GPU. It's onboard graphics due to its laptop nature (it's a Mac Mini running Windows 7)
And there lays the problem, in the age of electricity you are still using steam, the problem is not the software but rather your hardware, Thea is using the new technology available, it uses both CPU and GPU.
Feel free to share the scene and I will see what 1 minute using Presto MC produces

The best thing in Corona is it whips up the competitor

A basic material editor has been added to the beta. Worth a shot, CPU renders are insanely fast

So, what ever happened to Corona render for Sketchup? I hear crickets.
Are the dev team on these forums? if no, why not? Are they serious about getting Corona into SU?
I'm ready to test it, I have seen some awesome stuff with 3ds Max version.

I read somewhere on their forum recently that they have hired a dedicated programmer and was waiting for him to get started.

I tried contacting them but nothing yet.
It seems they only got 2 new guys to work on SketchUp port recently.
I'll ring their bell again
