Trial

Chaos Corona is a high-performance (un)biased photorealistic renderer, with the best ease-of-use of any renderer. It delivers predictable, reliable, and physically accurate results, and aims to make you and your renders faster thanks to:

  • Interactive LightMix tool, which allows for adjusting scene lighting without re-rendering, and even during the rendering.
  • In-built library of materials, objects, HDRIs, Scatter presets and more with Chaos Cosmos.
  • Chaos Scatter tool for controllably creating hundreds to millions of objects such as trees, rocks, grass, and more.
  • Denoising, which can reduce render times by up to 75%.
  • Interactive rendering allows you to skip the “test renders” part of scene creation.
  • Ease of use, which often comes down to just pressing “Render” to get amazing results.
  • Fast and easy to use caustics
  • Versatile post-processing options directly in the frame buffer.
  • ...much more!

Most new users will learn Corona in just one day and fall in love with it over the next few!

This download is the 30-day free trial version. There are no limitations (image size, watermarks, etc.) and you can use it commercially.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
