Quixel Bridge Importer for Corona Renderer (C4D)

One-click material import to Corona

A custom version of the Quixel Bridge plugin that adds Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D support, enabling one-click import with full support for materials and 3d models from the Megascans library.

The plugin works as it would if it was official, meaning it provides the same seamless integration between Bridge and Cinema 4D as with other render engines, and even adds a few extra settings for control freaks and nerds.

• complete support for Corona Physical Material
  • Albedo + AO
  • Roughness and Glossiness
  • Specular

  • Normal + Bump combo
