Realtime vs Offline: Corona render vs D5 Comparison

Hi everyone,

I’m starting this thread to share a side-by-side comparison between D5 Render and Corona Renderer, using the same architectural scene rendered in both engines.

The goal is not to declare a “winner”, but to explore how these engines handle:

Lighting & shadows

GI & reflections

Material realism

Edge sharpness / aliasing

Rendering time & workflow speed

:framed_picture: I’ll be rendering identical camera angles and lighting setups in both engines.

I’m using:

Corona 12


(3ds Max)

D5 Render 2.x (with RTX acceleration)

Any feedback, technical insights or questions are welcome. I believe this could help others who are torn between realtime and offline workflows in professional archviz projects.

Hi everyone,
We’ve been testing both Corona Renderer and D5 Render on the same architectural scene, using identical camera angles, lighting, and geometry.

:framed_picture: The images below show a direct comparison between the two engines.
We are not focusing on technical specs here, but rather on:

visual feeling,

atmosphere,

and what the client might actually perceive.
