Quick facts

Memory and render time savings right out of the box, without the need to change anything in the scene.

2.5D Displacement – New default displacement calculation method, which gives you much faster scene parsing and even more memory savings.

Caustics Optimizations – Caustics render faster and use less memory, no changes needed to the scene.

General Optimizations – There are overall memory and render time savings, including for geometry processing and more.

ColorCorrect Optimizations – The performance of the Corona Color Correct map has been improved.

Hair – Corona now uses half the memory, and some artifacts have been removed.

Corona Material Library updated (17 new basic Hair materials, 10 new Skin materials, and some smaller fixes).
