Key Features

Import/Export
One of the most requested features over the years is finally here. You will be able to save and reuse your Scene Manager states including all involved geometry, maps and materials. You can share a state with the camera angle, lighting, render and output settings with the team or create templates for later usage.

Variants
The new variants module will allow you to define a list of layers where each item will represent a version of a product. This way you can easily create and render hundreds of variations within one state. Perfect solution if you are doing product renderings.

Post-production
Fine-tuning the render directly in the VFB has become an essential part of many workflows. To follow these trends we created a new module called Post-production. You can control your V-Ray VFB Layers or the new Tone Mapping settings for Corona 8.

Different output formats per render element
From now on Corona and FStorm users will have the ability to choose different output formats per render element.

Override object material
Changing an object’s material per Scene Manager state will greatly improve your workflow and you don't have to keep copies of your object just because the material is different.

3ds Max 2023 and Corona 8
We added support for the latest 3ds Max and Corona version so you can go ahead and enjoy them with the latest Scene Manager.
