I’ve created a short installation and troubleshooting guide for Corona Alpha v6. We will collect the installation problems users encounter, together with solutions there. You can read it at the Corona wiki: https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/installation
The long awaited Corona Renderer Alpha 6 is out. If you didn’t download it yet, get it now on the forum!
It has been 9 long months since we released A5, and we’ve come a long way since that. Numerous things were changed and improved. This article should give you a short brief about those changes we did in A6 and tell you something about our future plans.
So read on. Continue reading Corona Alpha6 is out!
So yesterday we had our last internal meeting about V6. It took the whole day and here is the conclusion.
Release date: We aim to release Corona on TUESDAY – 18/3/2014, provided there won’t be any major bugs discovered by then.
So starting now we really want to get our daily builds testers to use and abuse Corona Renderer as much as they can. Right now there is Alpha v6 Release candidate version RC3 available to all our daily build testers for this purposes. If everything goes well, there is no reason to not make Alpha 6 public.
What about price? Limitations?
Price is still nice & round zero and there are still no limitations, watermarks, etc. You can use A6 for as long as you want and on any commercial projects.
Why? Because we do have some exciting plans and we are really confident that we will still be able to significantly improve Corona after A6.
We are planning to release another article which will compare A6 to A5, present new features, bugfixes, speed improvement, and so on, so make sure to bookmark the blog! Lots of interesting stuff will be published here. And do not forget, rendering is magic ;).

As you might remember, last week on 5/6/2014 I had a chance to present the pre-release Corona Alpha 6 on 3ds london event – Thank you Simon for the invitation! I really enjoyed being back in London and having chance to talk to the old friends from cg field which I haven’t seen for a while and being able to present them what we did with our Corona renderer. Presentation went very well (that is just my impression) and we got some incredible feedback, which is extremely valuable for us – as you – artists – are helping us to tailor Corona Renderer exactly to your needs. Apart of them I got a chance to visit some great London based studios – namely Vyonyx, Asymmetrica, ModelworksMedia, RiverFilm, CityscapeDigital. Simply put – it was great, thanks again guys for letting me present at your studios. I hope that it was not the last time we did this.
