7. Large Gaussian Splats scenes
Night lighting and ambiance are becoming increasingly popular, and Night Sky offers a powerful tool. Professional visualization increasingly requires fast, high-quality processing, and AI tools significantly reduce post-processing time.
Materials often limit production time – the new Fabric Material saves setup.
Interface management and optimization reduce setup time and increase team productivity.

Other minor improvements.
General
Added an option to add bloom and flare effects to the CShading_Alpha Render Element (3ds Max) / Alpha Multipath (Cinema 4D) subset.
Specifically, analysis speed has been significantly improved using a highly threaded CPU. Geometry stages are now more consistent across renders.
Changed the default adaptive interval to one. You can now evaluate the noise level after the second pass.

Added Corona Moon support to the light list.
Improved solar shadow representation by clouds (you can use legacy switches if you want to preserve the results in existing scenes).
Added time and location support for Corona Sun (and new Moon objects and Sky/shadeser/tag objects). Added an automatic conversion option from the Sun tag in Cinema 4D.
A new “Corona Full Sky” menu command has been added for creating a sky that includes the sun and moon. It is set to be used only once and control locations.
Added an option to specify the north direction of all celestial bodies.
Replaced the previous rotation parameter (counterdistrict arrow) for Corona Sun with azimuth (clockwise) and followed the usual rules used in navigation.
OIDN for macOS has been updated to version 2.3.3.
OIDN on macOS also supports Apple GPUs and is now available for IR.
When using Apple Silicon on macOS, OIDN denoiser is now enabled by default for new IR scenes.
GPU denoisers typically require either an Apple Silicon CPU (e.g., M1 or later).
The Corona Color Correct shader now supports loading LUTs from the asset browser.
Thread scheduling has been improved, and UI responsiveness has been improved (especially in IR).
The noise level limit in the render setting is now displayed as a percentage.
