Chaos CoronaΒ is a popular and very powerful 3ds Max plug-in, allowing the production of photo-realistic images of exceptional quality. Mastering it does not require excessive practice or study. Rather, as with everything Corona makes, one of its greatest strengths is its ease of use.
Corona: THE COMPLETE GUIDE is the world’s first dedicated guide to Corona for 3ds Max. Developed with the full support of Chaos Czech, it is a total and in-depth guide to this amazing software.
The book covers EVERY single one of Chaos Corona’s parameters with clear and detailed examples, including over 150 files for 3ds Max (2014-2019-2022). With Corona: THE COMPLETE GUIDE you’ll learn the tips, tricks, and features used by the professionals, and become a true Chaos Corona expert.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting from scratch, this guide is structured to provide a gradual and easy-to-learn introduction to the world of Chaos Corona (though be aware – some prior knowledge of the 3D world is recommended). Even 3D experts can discover advanced rendering techniques.
This book contains 1,000 full-color pages, with over 1,200 images, and 2,200 renders. It’s 20x28x5cm in size, made with high-quality binding, and thread-stitched for increased durability.
Along with this guide, you’ll receive 26GB of data containing hundreds of exercises, available to download upon purchase of the book. This includes ALL the .max files used in its creation, as well as textures, simulations, and files for Photoshop and After Effects. You’ll also receive two Dual-Layer DVDs, containing all the same files as found in the download section.
For a limited time, a customized 32GB USB 2.0 flash drive (30MB/sec read, 15MB/sec write) will be included with your purchase, containing all the same files as are on the two DVD-DLs. Stocks are limited!
Francesco Legrenzi began his journey into the world of 3D in 1997, using 3D Studio Max v1.0, and quickly developed a passion for computer sciences applied to visual arts. In 2001 he discovered V-Ray v0.10, a program that became his main working tool in the following years..
Between 2002 and 2008 he was placed in charge of the “lighting & modeling” department of an important architectural Milan firm.
From 2005 to 2008 he wrote V-Ray: THE COMPLETE GUIDE, the worldβs first written guide to V-Ray. From there, he started freelancing until, in 2015, he began work on Corona: THE COMPLETE GUIDE, the worldβs first written guide for this powerful new 3ds max rendering engine. In 2019 he became a CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR for Corona Renderer.
You may be wondering if Corona: THE COMPLETE GUIDE is right for you. While this book was mainly written with Chaos Corona beginners in mind, it contains dozens of advanced tips for experienced users, as well as being a complete reference guide to all of Chaos Corona’s parameters.

Finally, four HD animations will allow you to observe the new CoronaPhysicalMtl, the new shaders in the Corona Material Library, and the new CoronaSky map model.

It's amazing how every page is PACKED with information and detail. No space is wasted, and the book is so complete that despite getting right to the point on every topic, it's still huge. Heck, there's even 11 pages on the Corona Fractal!
I loved Corona: THE COMPLETE GUIDE by Francesco Legrenzi. I found it very complete, showing every detail of the software and making it much easier to understand the operation of this incredible tool. Congratulations Francesco. Very helpful!!
The end results definitely exceeded my expectations, and not just mine! It's not only the book, but also its various 3D content: scenes, materials, models, and more, combining into the most comprehensive Chaos Corona guide ever printed.
Francesco Legrenziβs book is without a doubt the best guide we can find for Chaos Corona. Itβs curious when you think you know everything and realize you still have a lot to learn. Very interesting reading. Thank you very much Francesco. Amazing job!

Once you purchase the guide, 26 GB of data will be available in your account for download, with all related material and the 158 .max files shown in the book. Each scene was designed and created specifically to demonstrate particular parameters. There is no better recipe for learning software than by playing and analyzing carefully crafted files: names of objects, layers, and materials were chosen to facilitate understanding of Chaos Corona. Many 3D scenes are simulations, and the final sequences of the exercises (more than 70) can be viewed in .mov format. No rendering engine in the world has ever had such a large amount of educational material in a single volume. The book comes with two Dual-Layer DVDs and a 32 GB USB 2.0 flash drive containing the same files found in your account.
