Chaos Corona Solo is a high-performance CPU-based render engine designed for visualisers who work on a single machine. Built with architectural workflows in mind, it offers intuitive controls, fast learning, and photorealistic results with minimal setup. Version 12 adds real-time Vantage integration, scene detailing tools, and improved material support, optimising both speed and creative control.

Ease of Use

Corona’s interface is purpose-built for simplicity. Default settings work out of the box, and new users typically get up to speed in a day. No hidden menus or complex setup—just press “Render”.
