Multiloaders for C4D

At the moment, Corona relies on a fixed installation path and registry-based discovery, which makes parallel installs and version switching difficult to manage cleanly.

What we would like to request is support for a simple environment variable, for example CORONA_ROOT or similar, that allows defining the Corona installation path at runtime. This would allow us to:

  • Run multiple Corona versions side by side

  • Switch versions per job or per host application

  • Avoid junctions or filesystem workarounds

  • Keep deployments predictable and automation-friendly

This kind of mechanism would greatly simplify large-scale and render farm workflows while remaining fully backward compatible.
