Corona is faster, and has more potential to deliver better quality images. It all depends on how well you know how to use one or the other. No contest there as far as I am concerned.Ĭorona for ArchiCAD is better than CineRender perhaps, but not anything radically better. And the quality is the comparable if not equal, but much, much easier to achieve with Lumion. Lumion 9 Pro is perhaps 50 times faster than faster that Art*Lantis 2019. I also have a demo for Art*Lantis 2019 installed. Lumion 9 Pro LiveSynk add-on for ArchiCAD 22 I have installed with the Corona add-on for ArchiCAD, Maxwell Render add-on is for an older version of ArchiCAD. They (currently) have no plans to work on a Revit plugin or port any time soon.Īnd all of this is why we need a Benchmark file. So before long we will have an ArchiCAD-Corona combination to match up to Revit-Vray. Of course it hardly matters now since Chaosgroup (the makers of Vray) bought out the company that makes Corona (even though they're still producing both as separate products).Īlso, if you're not aware, the makers of Corona are actually working on a port or a bridge for ArchiCAD specifically, to their render engine and they even showed off a working demo at a recent user conference complete with a working RT interactive renderer and window porting directly from ArchiCAD's 3D window. Which would be why you're seeing a lot of Vray users jumping ship and switching to Corona. It terms of its simplicity of use, it's speed in many situations, it's post-processing and lens-effects features.


Having used both extensively, I have to state that Corona is far superior to Vray in many respects. I really wish ArchiCAD had a port for Vray. About post, for Vray you need only a simple click on a Nick Collection Filter for Photoshop, but for Octane you have to spend too many hours in Photoshop for your final render. I have both, Octane and Vray on another 3D software, and Vray RT GPU is way faster than Octane in many situations, and for other features Vray is way ahead of anything else in the market.
