Some days, my login crashes and I have to restart my PC to reload everything. Unfortunately, converting the price to my local currency makes it quite expensive, but I still decided to pay for it and try to make the most of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Chaos Corona is how intuitive and artist-friendly it is. It allows me to focus on design and lighting without getting lost in overly technical settings. The interactive rendering is fast and responsive, which makes it easy to test ideas quickly and iterate on visuals. I also really value the physically accurate materials and lighting system—it consistently produces beautiful, photorealistic results with minimal effort. The integration with 3ds Max (or Cinema 4D) feels smooth and stable, and the LightMix feature is incredibly useful for making adjustments without re-rendering everything. Overall, it strikes a great balance between quality, speed, and ease of use—making it a great tool for both quick visualizations and high-end final renders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I really appreciate Chaos Corona for its ease of use and impressive photorealism, there are a few aspects I find limiting. The lack of real-time rendering slows down design iterations, especially compared to engines like Unreal or Enscape. Since it’s CPU-based, it doesn’t take advantage of modern GPUs, which can be a drawback in more complex scenes. Feature-wise, it’s simpler than V-Ray and misses some advanced capabilities I occasionally need. Also, its support is restricted to 3ds Max and Cinema 4D, which limits flexibility across different pipelines. I’ve noticed that rendering times can be quite long in heavy scenes, and the standard material editor in 3ds Max still feels outdated—not having a proper node-based system. The shift to subscription-only licensing is another downside, particularly for freelancers or small studios. Render farm integration isn't as smooth as it could be, and while the built-in post-processing tools are helpful, they’re quite basic. Overall, I enjoy working with it for what it does well, but it does have clear limitations in more demanding or diverse workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
