The update primarily targeted existing features, with Chaos Scatter— the current system for object distribution across surfaces—receiving new options based on height or Look At orientation. Additionally, the integrated version of Open Image Denoise, an open rendering from Intel, was updated to OIDN 2, now supporting GPU noise reduction. It's worth noting that, as of now, it's only supported on NVIDIA graphics processors.

The 3ds Max version also received Corona Power Tools—a collection of scripts for automating repetitive tasks, such as object replacement, transforming randomization, or scene cleanup. The release for Cinema 4D introduced Pyro support—a new set of tools for smoke and fire modeling within Cinema.

Corona 11 is compatible with 3ds Max 2016 and above and Cinema 4D R17 and above. The software is distributed only through subscription. The subscription cost for Corona Solo is $53.90 per month or $358.80 per year. The subscription cost for Corona Premium is $67.90 per month or $478.80 per year.
