It sure won't! In fact, focusing in on Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D was part of the reason for calling a halt to the SketchUp development. You can read all about that in the Company News section on the blog post. A tough decision, but the right one we believe.
It's been available for some time, the Alpha came out last year, with earlier versions before that. Beta 1 is much closer to a final version of course, which is why the announcement of its release - some very major changes since the Alpha, as listed, with the Interactive Rendering being the most major I'd say, as it's a hallmark of Corona.

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed them! If anyone has any questions that they would like to see asked in possible future interviews, feel free to pass those along to me
Thanks!

Most welcome! I loved watching these when preparing them, it was great to hear the thoughts and workflows of such well-known names, and I hope everyone enjoys them and finds something useful there too!

I know this is the reverse of the original poster's request, but to answer this later request, I'd suggest checking our quick tip video on using the Corona converter to convert from V-Ray to Corona (materials, lighting, proxies):
Hi all!
Just wanted to share that part 1 of an interview with Recent Spaces (Alex York and Iain Banks) by the Corona team was just released, part 2 to follow:

All the videos aim to discuss how they got started in the industry, what advice they would give to those working in or starting out in the industry, what kind of workflow they use, and how they see the state of the industry today.
Thanks!

Thanks Pete, good to hear all is working as expected now! Yes, always frustrating when an issue pops up without a reproducible pattern. Should you run into it again, let us know, if it gets reproducible then you can always share the scene itself with us via our bug reporting so we can take a look.
