Corona Renderer Benchmark Results [Updated]

CG Director Author Alex Glawionby Alex Glawion   /  Published 

Corona is a popular CPU-based render engine that has recently been acquired by Chaos. It is available for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and as a standalone Application.

Although many modern render engines have gone the route of GPU support, Corona has stayed faithful to being a full-blown CPU-based renderer only.

We’ve updated our benchmarks results list that shows what kind of performance you can expect in modern and popular CPUs (higher is better):
