### ** From a student project to worldwide adoption**

The development of Corona Renderer started back in 2009 as a solo student project of Ondřej Karlík at Czech Technical University in Prague. 

 

Corona has since evolved to a full-time commercial project after Ondřej established a company together with the former CG artist Adam Hotový, and Jaroslav Křivánek, associate professor and researcher at Charles University in Prague. In August 2017, the company became part of Chaos, allowing for further expansion and growth.

**RENDERING**: Chaos Corona delivers predictable, reliable, and physically plausible results with no compromises in quality. 

**POWER**: The output quality and speed are not the only things that make a great renderer.
