I’m thinking about rename the script to something “BCorona3S” or to “CoronaBlend” ?
What do you think guys??? ))))))

By the way, the script has been adapted to Blender 3.0 (alpha):

I don’t think this is a good idea.

Are you mean about rename the addon?

You are re-writing an add-on so in my opinion you can rename it however you want :slight_smile:

Is it an exporter/bridge evolved from previous versions or are you making a whole new addon/plugin capable of fetching previews, able to run interactively?

It is changed existing code lines with some editons that can be works fine in 3.0 alpha (with some basics but not full). But I stayed with “private repo” on it now.

Bump/Normal map effect is works now, finally!!! ))

Updates from 21.09.2021:

  • fixed a few undefined socket nodes;
  • removed Normal map shader (now we can assign Texture node directly to Normal input with Bump strength values);
  • and some a few UI changes.

Does that mean no additional bump allowed? In Max CoronaNormal node contains inputs for both normalmap and bump map.

This means you can add texture and connect it to Normal input socket with change the value of the Bump/Normal strength parameter:

In my humble opinion, Corona render is the most needed addition to Blender. It is definitely the most anticipated event in my work practice. Very much looking forward to it and ready to buy it.

Hi!
I can’t hold my curiosity, I have a question about the performance of the preview render in the 3D view relative to Luxcore. Luxcore suffers from poor performance when moving objects and light sources in these moments. It makes it very difficult to adjust the light.
I tried Corona in C4D and there were no such problems - objects move freely at the moment of pre-rendering.
And how does your Corona solution behave in Blender?
